ITEM EXPLANATION :
This past summer Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park hosted the third annual Friday Night Film
Festival. Nostalgic Hollywood golden era films featuring the Ranch's former owner, actor Leo
Carrillo, are screened outside under the stars. The finale of the film festival was the second
annual Dinner and a Movie Night which is an annual fundraiser to support the Carrillo Ranch
Fund.
This year, 127 guests from the local community purchased tickets to attend the event in support
of the park. Attendees enjoyed a hearty Italian dinner, fresh popcorn and a screening of Love
Movie Forever starring Leo Carrillo and Grace Moore. The entire event was very well received by
those who attended. More than 95 percent of all guests surveyed rated the overall event as either
good or excellent.
Thanks to the support of the community and the generous donation of tables, chairs, and linens
from Allie's Party Rental Equipment, Inc., the Dinner and a Movie Night event held on September
19, 2008, raised $655 to directly benefit the Carrillo Ranch Fund.
The City of Carlsbad Recreation Department wishes to acknowledge the generosity of Allie's
Party Rental Equipment, Inc., the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, and all of the volunteers that
donated their time and financial resources in support the Ranch to make the event a success.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount of $655 from the proceeds of the event will be deposited into the Carrillo Ranch
Fund account #149-4504-5651, to be used for future purposes related to the development,
operation, and maintenance of Carrillo Ranch.
