Are you looking for something cool to do this summer? Grab a mat, pillow or blanket, pack a snack and spend the morning watching a movie in a county park. Movies will be shown at 10 a.m. with a different movie featured each week. The movies are all family-friendly and fun for all ages. Concessions will be available for purchase in the nature centers; however, you are welcome to bring your own food and beverages - no glass containers please. The movie and parking are free with the $6 per vehicle park entry fee.
