1) Movie in the Park (Sunday, Sept. 6)

Stay up late on Sunday with your neighbors watching “Toy Story” in Overlook Park. Monday’s a holiday, so stay up late. The event will include music, face painting and rock climbing starting at 5:30. In addition, arrive early to be entered into a special raffle drawing to benefit kids from homeless and low-income families. Event partner, Human Solutions, will collect toys donated that night and distribute them to kids. If you bring an unwrapped, new toy, you will receive a raffle ticket. All kids who come to the park dressed as a character from the movie also will get a ticket.  We’ll hold several drawings starting at 7. Winners must be in attendance.
