We're already looking forward to next week! Stay safe and dry!

With rain hitting the front plaza already and the threat of more rain in the coming hours - we are unfortunately rescheduling tonight's movie night. These are always tough calls to make because it's always a toss up. Sometimes you make the call and no rain hits the ground but one thing we always want to prioritize is the safety of our community and those who come out to enjoy our events.

We are going to reschedule for next Friday, July 25th at 9pm. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The rain can’t stop us from putting on a show! Tonight’s show featuring the Mountain Laurels and Them Lasses is now moved INDOORS at the Harlan Center.
