Free Outdoor Community Family Movie Night

With lots going on across the HRM during Canada Day the Rockingham Residents' Association hosted its 2nd free outdoor community family movie night and it was a huge success. Over 100 people attended the event, which was kicked off around 6pm with the "bring your own picnic supper" to D.J. Butler Park and enjoy Canada Day cake and lots of children's games. Around 8:30pm, with the rain holding off, we launched the movie. The parents and children all loved it. This event costs the RRA about $250 (that covered the rental of the popcorn maker, candy/pop/juice). All the equipment including the projector and 8foot screen and speakers were brought and donated by neighbours that night to help make this event free. It was such a great success the RRA is thinking of doing it again at the end of the summer. The community loved it and it was a small thing that brought lots of smiles on the children's faces.
