For the Tomahawk Leader
TOMAHAWK – The Tomahawk Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted a National Night Out event at Veterans Memorial Park in Tomahawk on Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Participating agencies included the Tomahawk Police Department, the Lincoln and Oneida County Sheriff’s Offices, the Tomahawk and Nokomis Fire Departments and the Wisconsin State Patrol.
“The Tomahawk Chamber took it one step further, inviting local nonprofits and businesses to come down and participate as well,” Lau said.
The event featured 16 vendors with activities, as well as two food trucks.
