I could not find a listing of neighborhood events in Owatonna on their City or Police Department Website pages or social media sites.

No information specific to Rice County Sheriff's Office Night to Unite events could be found either. Nothing on Facebook or Rice County Website or Sheriff's Office page on county website.
