Family Fun & Flix, a free summer entertainment and film series presented by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, continues Tuesday, August 11 with the presentation of “Annie” at Warinanco Park, on the border of Elizabeth and Roselle. This showing of “Annie” is sponsored by Investors Bank. Free popcorn will be distributed for children in the attendance.
As part of the evening’s events, UC Fit Kids, a health initiative of the Union County Freeholder Board, will offer fitness fun for children before the movie, beginning at 7:30 p.m. UC Fit Kids’ Yoga is presented by the Elizabeth Branch of the Gateway Family YMCA Kid’s Boot Camp.
Academy Award nominee Quvenzhane Wallis stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who’s also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014.
“This event gives families an opportunity to enjoy an entertaining evening in our parks while picking up some healthy living tips,” said Union County Freeholder Chairman Mohamed S. Jalloh.
All movies will begin at dusk, with everyone encouraged to bring a blanket or beach chair to claim your spot on the lawn. There will also be bleacher seats available.
Following “Annie” there will be just one more opportunity to enjoy a movie in the park, with the rescheduled “Dolphin Tales 2” on Tuesday, August 18.
All movies will be shown, weather permitting. For more information, call the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation at 908-527-4900 or visit the Union County website; www.ucnj.org. In the event of weather-related matters, you can call 908-558-4079 after 3:30 p.m. on the day of the show.
