Movies in the Park in Glen Williams

Last Saturday night I went to experience the Movies in the Park that was held in Glen Williams. This is a real family event and I strongly urge anyone to come out to the next one. This is a huge HD screen so it looks just like a drive-in theatre. Families come early with lawn chairs, blankets, tents and pick your spot. Party Cinemas are the ones who put on this free event. The only thing they ask in return is to make a donation to the local food bank. On Saturday night, HeyRay Chesher the real estate agent donated glow sticks and many of the kids and parents put them around their neck.



Councillor Joan Robson was also at the Movies in the Park on Saturday night along with close to 400 people. The movie was " How to Train your Dragon". It is just like going to the drive-in but instead of sitting in cars you are sitting in lawn chairs in the park. These events happen once a month and they alternate between Acton Prospect Park and Glen Williams.

The big winners, besides all the families, experiencing an outdoor movie on a nice summer night are the Food Banks. Thanks to the generosities of the public, already 450 pounds of food have been collected for our local Food Banks. It is this time of year that the food banks need donations. We think of the Food Banks in the winter time but tend to forget about them in the summer months. So everyone wins with Party Cinemas "Movies in the Park".
