Back to School Movie Night features ‘E.T.’
|
Back to School Movie Night was presented for the fourth year as a community service project of Leadership Warren with the cooperation of other community-minded groups participating.
“We had great participation with numerous parents expressing their appreciation for the fun night of family entertainment,” noted Tish Hillis. “It was a very good night.”
In addition to the movie, Leadership Warren set up a booth selling pizza by the slice, funnel cakes and nachos with assistance from Leadership Warren Youth. The Park Theater Group supplied popcorn and soft drinks, while Lions Club members served sno-cones to compliment their fresh from the grill hamburgers and hot-dogs.
The Mini Standard’s Bonnie Bear was in attendance to meet and greet her many young friends, including Madison and Paige Merriman, who won the Count the Reeces Pieces contest; and Morgan Deweese, Cierra Holt and Krystoffer Williamson, named winners of the coloring contest.
The Chamber of Commerce conducted a bicycle safety session that featured a bike riding obstacle course. Main Street McMinnville supporters were selling bricks to be used along the walkways as part of the downtown revitalizing project. And happy faces emerged among the crowd after children took advantage of the Junior Varsity Cheerleader’s face-painting and hair coloring efforts.
