and invited community members in to watch.

Bring the whole family, chairs, blankets, jackets, flashlight and your picnic basket beginning about 6:00 pm for the fun activities. The movie will begin about dark. The movies will be presented by Blue Moon Cinemas using a professional inflatable screen and sound system. Moviegoers can spread out and enjoy the show.
