ROSEVILLE — The winner of Roseville’s National Night Out poster contest is Rylee Tilney, a soon-to-be fifth grader at Steenland Elementary School.

“This year’s poster was phenomenal,” Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin said. “I think it might be one of the best ever.”

The poster contest was open to Roseville Community Schools students. Rylee’s drawing will be used on Roseville’s 2024 National Night Out flyer.

National Night Out is an annual event that looks to improve relations between law enforcement and the communities it serves. The free event, which is held by Roseville’s neighborhood watch group with the Roseville Police and Fire departments, will take place 4-8 p.m Aug. 6 this year at Veterans Memorial Park, 27325 Barkman St. in Roseville. 

According to its Facebook event page, the event will feature giveaways, free hot dogs and prizes.
