A free movie night featuring the classic film “The Sandlot” will be held Friday night at the Watertown Area Community Foundation Plaza.
The event is sponsored by the Foundation’s Youth Council. The movie will be shown on a 20-foot inflatable screen beginning at dusk, or shortly after 9 p.m. No admission will be charged, but members of the Youth Council will be selling popcorn, soda, and other refreshments. All proceeds help the Youth Council give grants to local organizations.
Community Foundation Executive Director Cammie Mengwasser said everybody is welcome to attend. Attendees should bring a lawn-chair or blanket.
The Youth Council was formed in 2001 and is made up of three WHS seniors and three WHS juniors. Youth Council members learn about nonprofit organizations in our community, learn leadership skills, become involved in philanthropy and make a difference. Since starting in 2001 more than 60 students have been involved and they have awarded more than $150,000 in grants.
First Interstate Bank is sponsoring the event, paying for the rights to show the movie and for rent on the plaza.
Mengwasser said “The Sandlot” a great movie for such an event.
Another free movie night is in the works from the Youth Council. On August 11, the 2016 Disney favorite “Moana” will be shown at the Plaza.
