"Movies Under the Stars” is back in July!
On Friday, July 9, come on out to Prien Lake Park, 3700 West Prien Lake Road, to see the 2010 live action/computer animated comedy, "Yogi Bear." Bring your blankets and snacks and sit back and watch the adventures of Jellystone Park’s two scheming mischief-makers, Yogi and Boo Boo, in this 2010 live action/computer animated comedy. Yogi and his sidekick, Boo Boo, have hatched countless schemes to pilfer park visitors’ picnic baskets, but Ranger Smith usually manages to foil their plans. But when Mayor Brown announces his plans to sell Jellystone Park to loggers, Yogi, Boo Boo, and Ranger Smith join forces to save their campground (Rated PG).
The features start at 6:30 p.m. but be sure to get there early to get the best spots. Residents are encouraged to bring their own blankets and lawn chairs. Residents can also bring their own food, but there will be vendors present. Also, free popcorn and cotton candy will be served.
Movies will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather. Cancellations will be announced before the event on the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s website at calcasieuparish.gov and on CPPJ’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages.
