Movies in the Park - Avengers: Infinity Wars
If you are looking for a fun, free, family night, then look no further! This awesome night will take place on September 7th, at 8:00 pm at the Five Star Complex. Bring your own blankets, chairs and refreshments but there will also be a concession stand available. And, my favorite thing....there will be door prizes!
