This Saturday I'll hold my 5th outdoor super 8 screening.
A fun night for family and friends.

Getting more community involvement this year with one parent offering up a popcorn and cotton candy machine - yet to see if they come through.

Had about 50 people show last year - this year? who knows!!

Will report back on the show.

This year I made postcards to give out.

and another promo to pass around Facebook.

Cheers
Terry

Terry, watching your video, I felt like I was there.

Too bad I have moved. But I saw "Young Frankenstein" was there to represent me... [Wink]

I miss Toronto already.

Cheers,

Yes Winbert you were represented by the Young Frankenstein trailer I got from you! Would have been nice to have you and your kids there again, the youngsters really seemed to enjoy it. Clock Cleaners was actually as last minute addition but got the loudest laughs from the kids!

One of the seniors thanked me for the "Brilliant" Laurel and Hardy.

It was nice to see how everyone really appreciated that they were seeing real film.

Cheers
