The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Department of Parks & Community Renewal are happy to announce this evening's “Family Fun and Flix” – the free summer entertainment and film series on Tuesday evenings.
“Family Fun and Flix begins at dusk, but come early to the park to enjoy interesting preview activities at 7:30 p.m. that are fun for the whole family,” said Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella. “Bring a blanket or beach chair to claim your spot on the lawn or save a seat in the bleachers – either way, the early birds are sure to like the preview activity before each movie.”
Come to Warinanco Park, on the border of Elizabeth and Roselle, on Tuesday, July 24 at 7:30 p.m. when naturalists from Trailside Nature & Science Center will display pelts, gemstones and other natural wonders found in Union County’s Watchung Reservation. Then sit back at dusk and watch as Puss in Boots goes on a heroic adventure with Humpty Dumpty and Kitty Softpaws in pursuit of Jack and Jill with their magic beans in the 2011 DreamWorks animated adventure, “Puss in Boots” featuring the voices of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Sedaris and Billy Bob Thornton.
