The first Movie Night in the Park, held June 28 in W.A. Olen Park, attracted more than 100 people.
“I’m actually expecting that number to go up” at future movie nights, Clintonville City Administrator SharonEvelandtold the Clintonville City Council at its July 9 meeting. “This one was a little later than ideal with younger kids due to how late the sun goes down here in the end of June.”
Movie Night in the Park features family-friendly movies shown at the park on an inflatable projector screen.
O’Connor Sales & Realty sponsored the June 28 Movie Night in the Park event. Schutt Industries and Deluxe Plastics will sponsor two of the next three movie nights.
“I’m really excited that we have this, and Justin has done a good job setting this up,” Eveland said, referring to Clintonville Parks and Recreation Manager Justin Mc Auly.
The next Movie Night in the Park date is Aug. 9, with the showing of “Smallfoot” at 8 p.m.
The remaining nights are Aug. 30, with “How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World” at 7:30 p.m., and Sept. 20, with the showing of “Aquaman” at 7 p.m.
The program is free. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and bug spray. Chairs can be set up behind the ground-level/blanket seating area.
