ITEM EXPLANATION:
On Saturday, August 2nd, the Recreation Department partnered with Time Warner's Moonlight Movies to
host the Family Movie Night special event at Poinsettia Park.
This special event started with crafts, face painting, carnival games, two bounce houses, kicking around
giant soccer balls in the field, a giant blow-up basket ball hoop for games, and family relays. The movie
this year was Shrek the Third. Overall there was an estimated attendance of over 750 participants.
Our partnership with Time Warner included the movie, a fund raising spinning wheel with prizes, and a
cash donation. Proceeds in the amount of $253 where generated from the "$1 a Spin" opportunity. Time
Warner increased those proceeds by making an additional donation of $500 to Recreation Special Events
later that evening making the total donation $753.
