The Free Friday Night Movie this week is a double feature. The first one features a teenage sleuth, a young girl that most of us read books about in our younger days. We have shown several of these older movies, and the audience seems to enjoy the ride back in time. The second film will also be an older classic. The show starts at 7 p.m.

Come join us for an old fashioned evening and enjoy a good movie with concessions also available.
