Tinseltown Parking Lot

Just wanted to let you all know that they are working on the parking lot at Tinseltown.  The area directly in front of the theater was blocked off today to fix problems.  Not sure if the drop off/pick up area will be open tomorrow.

Teen Programs left

Don't forget we still have a few programs left this summer.  On Thursday at Mahon we will be seeing Thor and Thor The Dark World starting at 11 a.m.  There will be a Game Day at Groves next Monday, August 17 at 2 p.m.  We will have one final movie (Paul Blart 2) at Mahon on Tuesday, August 18 at 3 p.m.

Hope everyone had a great summer.  Thanks for participating in our reading game and attending programs!
