MOVIE:

Friday, August 14, Dusk:

The movie being shown is Bullet. The theme will be a drive in theme. We're working towards a low power radio transmission so people can stay in their cars and listen to the audio right on their radio!

The movie will tentatively be shown from the Domtar parking lot, at 2nd Street and Edwards Ave. Like the old drive in movies, popcorn and refreshments will be served.

CAR SHOW:

The car and motorcycle show will take place on 2nd Street. The street will be closed to accomodate the show vehicles. There are street trees that provide some shade, so this will be a great place to show off some great cars.
