BA cops expect more than 30,000 people for the 16th "Night out Against Crime with Fun and Games on Main."

The free event will occupy Main street from Denver to Detroit from 6:00-8:00 PM October 29th. Lisa Ford with BAPD told KRMG news the evening will feature "free hot dogs, cotton candy, and of course, lots of candy."
