Pay at the door – includes admission to BOTH movies and the hot dog supper. Proceeds benefit Play 315, a grassroots committee of educators, parents, and community members raising funds for a much-needed renovation of the Colby Public Schools playground. The current equipment has served generations (some for over 30 years!), and the vision for the new playground is an inclusive, accessible space that supports physical, emotional, and social development for ALL students.
👨👩👧👦 Whether you want to float in the pool while watching the movie, lounge under the stars, or kick back with a blanket and your favorite snacks, this event is the perfect way to close out summer with your friends and family — and support a great cause while you do it.
