Less than 100 citizens attended. However, with better advertising, persistence by industry and community support, the event has grown significantly every year. That s a pretty good turn out when you consider the population of the targeted community is only about 5,000. In fact, to accommodate the growing crowds, Good Neighbor Night was moved into the school s gymnasium. Good Neighbor Night also has grown in number of presenters.
Citizens register as they enter the school.
Themes are not limited to environmental issues. It is here that meaningful dialogue takes place between citizens and plant representatives. In addition to plant displays, emergency response organizations share their programs and display equipment. A crowd favorite is a display by local school children of science projects that are funded by the Community Advisory Team s Mini-Grant program. Calvert City plant managers and environmental professionals will tell you there is no way to measure the good will generated by the event.
