Movies In The Park
|
| CARD is holding its first Movies in the Park event of the summer tonight
(Saturday June 16th). These events are free and there's usually a snack
bar whose sales proceeds go to some charity around town. Bring blankets to sit on, or chairs. Bug spray and a flashlight are also good ideas "just in case". The movies start after dark, so expect a start time of around 9PM, which can be a little late for the younger kids. The event is on the baseball field at 1-Mile, which is adjacent to Caper Acres. Tonight's movie is the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". My favorite part of the movie is when Grandpa Joe gives Charlie his last cash to buy a Wonka bar. To this generosity Charlie responds "But Grandpa Joe, I can't take your tobacco money!". If only all kids were that considerate. But even with that dated reference it is a good family movie, and watching it on a large screen in the park for free makes it even better. |
