Hello All,

Join us at New Quarter Park this Saturday for our Movie in the Park: “Trolls World Tour”. Branch and Poppy come across six tribes of trolls, each practicing different styles of music. It is then up to the duo to untie and protect the other kingdoms of trolls when their musical styles are threatened by the sinister heavy metal couple King Trash and Queen Barb. Movie begins roughly 15 minutes after sunset. Concessions will be available for purchase during the movie. Please bring blanket and/or chair(s).
