This Friday night we're showing another great 80's classic, The Goonies! We will be at Evangelical's field again, which is located on Homer Adams Parkway in Godfrey next to Evangelical Church/School. As always the movie itself will start at dusk (usually this happens around 8:30 or so), but come early for the music to unwind and let the kids run around and play. For a true movie night experience, we have you covered. Popcorn, soda, and popsicles will be sold at our concession stand for only $1 as well as glow necklaces for a dollar and kids LOVE their glownecklaces let me tell you! This night is being hosted by the Alton High School Class of '98 reunion committee. I and a few other of my classmates from '98 thought a movie-night fundraiser would be a great way to raise money for our 10-year reunion, because not only is it benefiting us but it's a lot of fun! Besides the concession proceeds going toward our reunion, we will also be walking around selling 50/50 raffle tickets. Winner takes half the pot, so you can't beat that! We had 125 people at our last movie night, if we have this big of a crowd again that will be quit a prize for the lucky winner!
You know, I never really realized how many people go crazy over The Goonies! I've had several friends tell me how excited they are to come to this movie, and then precede to quote different lines from the movie....yes, 30-year olds excitedly quoting lines from a movie they loved as a kid. For me, it's been some time since I've seen The Goonies so I'm pretty pumped about seeing it on the big screen too. For a lot of parents out there, they'll be showing this movie to their kids for the first time. Watching the kids' reaction is always one of the best parts for me. At a private party we did a couple weekends ago with our friends, we showed a U2 concert. When the screen inflated this little girl was so excited I couldn't tell if she was laughing or crying. Whatever it was, it was pure joy! Seeing a kids face light up is always priceless, so now I can add this reason to my list of why I love doing these events. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
