Mosquitoes Chase Movie in the Park Moved to Liberty School

Did you hear the buzz about Movie in the Park? The mosquitoes have chased it indoors.

Friday’s event, originally scheduled for , has been moved to, 7265 Saline Ann Arbor Rd.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with free activities, including a portable gymnastics circuit that kids can try out, a balloon animal artist and an inflatable obstacle course and moonwalk. Pizza, popcorn, pop and candy will be sold. Music will be played before the show.

The movie, Disney’s Tangled, will begin at 8 p.m.

Patrons should bring blankets, pillows and chairs. Some of the bleachers will be pulled out for those who pack lightly.

Recreation supervisor Sunshine Lambert said the decision was made with comfort in mind.

“We want people to come out and see the movie and enjoy the experience. The mosquitoes are as bad as I’ve ever seen them. I don’t think people could have enjoyed themselves at Mill Pond Park,” Lambert said.

Lambert said the Rec Center’s day camp outdoor activities with kids have been scaled back because of the mosquito problem.

The event is sponsored by Saline Parks and Recreation, Gym American Gymnastics and Edward Jones. For more information, call the Rec Center at 429-3502.
