Town Recreation Director Danielle Strauss said the movies will be shown on the town's 16-foot by 20-foot screen.

The films usually draw between 75-100 people. They bring chairs and blankets, she said.

Insect repellant is a wise bring-a-long, too, since it does get buggy, the director said.

There may or may not be snacks for sale. That item had yet to be decided as of earlier this week.
