FARGO - A block party is planned in a south Fargo neighborhood to bring attention to what residents see as a rise in crime.

John Lachance is helping organize the event at the corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue. The respiratory therapist at the VA Medical Center says he wants people to be aware of what's been going on.

The police department's cultural liason, officers assigned to the neighborhood, the fire department and FM Ambulance will be represented.

The block party is set for Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Concerned residents have created a Facebook page to collect information and help get the word out.
