FARMER’S MARKET: Blueberry Pancakes – Thursday, August 3 from 3-7pm at Leigh Square
Cinema Under the Stars at GATES PARK, Moana – Friday, August 4 at 8:45pm
This week’s feature is Moana. On a mystic island off Oceania in the South Pacific, young princess Moana Waialiki is the feisty teenage daughter of the chief of her tribe, and the only daughter in a long line of navigators. When her family needs her help, she sails off across the open Pacific ocean on an epic adventure to save her people. Joined by the energetic, less-than-humble, once-powerful demigod Maui, Moana is determined to prove herself a master way finder and to fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest. Along the way, she discovers her own identity on the mission, which also pits her against impossible odds and enormous monsters. This evening of Cinema Under the Stars is sponsored in part by G&F Financial Group.
