Movie in the Park

"Movies in the Park" Fundraiser

The 2nd Annual "Movie in the Park" was held August 29, 2009. Many in the community showed up to support our cause, including Bonny Giesen's artists who sold copies of their artwork to raise money for the theatre. Approximately $4,000 was raised through the auction and hog ticket sales. This year a live goat was sold in the auction! The Adventures of the Wilderness Family was enjoyed by many who stayed after dark.

We had a fundraiser last night, September 20, 2008, and raised a preliminary $5,000 for the theatre! Hot dogs, soda, popcorn, and other goodies were provided for movie goers who enjoyed the beautiful weather, as well as exciting auctions of gifts donated by various community members and businesses. At dusk, we watched the movies made last year by the high school video production class. A fun time was had by all!
