On July 11, we'll be hosting an event at Quintette Community Center & Park featuring a movie that's fun for the whole fam, but we need your help!

We'll be watching Zootopia 2!

The event starts at 6:00pm, with the movie starting at 6:30pm, 7:00pm at the latest. We'll have free pizza from Porky’s Pizza, drinks, and popcorn. Before the film, we'll be giving away brown bag lunches to any families who would like them. If there are any leftover after the film, we’ll pass those out as well.

If we cannot hold the movie, we'll still be giving away brown bag lunches to anyone who wants to stop by and collect one.
