CHOW CHOW MOVIE NIGHT: RATATOUILLE
Aug 4 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Rabbit Rabbit

Join Chow Chow at Rabbit Rabbit for a fun, free, family friendly screening of everyone’s favorite food film: Ratatouille by Disney-Pixar! A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family’s wishes, and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Remy’s passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the world of Paris upside down. (General admission, no tickets or reservations required. AVL Taco Truck and Rabbit Rabbit bar available for food and drinks.)

Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.”

Pack Square Park

August 12: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (rated PG)

– When kids sneak into inventor Wayne Szalinski’s upstairs lab to retrieve an errant baseball, his experimental shrink ray miniaturizes them. When Szalinski returns home, he destroys the device – which he thinks is a failure – and dumps it in the trash, throwing out the kids along with it. The four children, now 1/4-inch tall, must survive the journey back to the house through a yard where sprinklers bring treacherous storms and garden-variety ants stampede like elephants.

  • Rec n Roll Fun Zone programming starts at 7 p.m.
