National Night Out + Lake of the Woods Prevention Coalition

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 5th, and join the Lake of the Woods Prevention Coalition at Timbermill Park in Baudette for National Night Out—a vibrant celebration of community health, safety, and togetherness!

From 5 p.m. onward, enjoy free food, games, live music, inflatables, a Color Run, giveaways, exhibits, and more. This family-friendly event is a chance to connect with neighbors, local organizations, and advocates committed to building a stronger, safer community.

About Lake of the Woods Prevention Coalition

Since 2010, the Lake of the Woods Prevention Coalition has worked to foster a community culture that empowers youth to make healthy, substance-free choices. Orginally founded through a grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services, the coalition unites diverse voices—parents, educators, healthcare professionals, law enforcement, business owners, faith leaders, and youth themselves—to prevent underage alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.

They believe prevention starts with community. By offering education, resources, and positive alternatives (like National Night Out!), they help young people thrive without the pressure of substance use.

National Night Out isn’t just about fun (though there’s plenty of that!). It’s a testament to what happens when a community comes together:

Strengthening bonds between families, leaders, and local organizations
Promoting safety through partnerships with law enforcement and health advocates
Celebrating resilience by providing alcohol- and drug-free spaces for joy and connection

This year’s event is a collaboration of countless groups dedicated to making Lake of the Woods a healthier place to live, work, and grow.

Join Us Lake of the Woods Prevention Coalition

When: Tuesday, August 5th | 5 p.m.
Where: Timbermill Park, Baudette
What to expect: Free activities, food, music, and resources for all ages—plus the excitement of a Color Run!

Together, we can build a community where youth feel supported, safe, and empowered to choose a bright future.
