The Movie in the Park series returns for the second of two shows this summer to be held Friday August 31st, 2012 at the Lion's Club Bandshell in Lamoureux Park. This free family event will feature the presentation of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax on a 25-foot inflatable screen. The show will start as soon as it is dark enough (approximately 8:00 pm, weather permitting) and seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so an early arrival is suggested.
Local artists will be set up showcasing their works before the movie and items on display will also be for sale. Food vendors will be on site selling food and drinks, and the Cornwall Civic Complex washrooms will remain open for the duration of the movie.
Organizers are reminding movie-goers to dress for the weather and come prepared with a lawn chair or blanket, a flashlight and bug spray.
The event is presented in partnership by the United Way, Rachel's Kids and the City of Cornwall. For more information please call 613-938-9898 ext. 2 or e-mail ltaillon@cornwall.ca
A 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.
Stars:Zac Efron, Taylor Swift and Danny DeVito
