Who is ready to watch The Little Rascals tonight at Church Creek Park?! We’re watching the skies — there’s a 40% chance of rain late this evening — so we’ll be starting the movie right at 8:00 PM to make sure everyone enjoys the film before any drops fall.

We'll have two great vendors offering sweet treats and snacks — Merry Little Baker LLC and Stanwood Cupcakes. Complimentary water and popcorn will also be provided, thanks to Les Schwab Tire Center.

We can't wait to see you all for another memorable Movies in the Park!
