One of the things that can be difficult about free or cheap events is that they can be incredibly crowded! (Did you go to $1 Flip Flop Day?) I had been avoiding the free and cheap summer movie circuit for just this reason. However, my 7 yo ds was invited to join friends at Thoroughbred 20 for their Wednesday morning movie, so off we went.
I am so happy to tell you that the theater had about 15 people in it! So, if you were staying away because of the crowds, you might want to check out this summer series at Thoroughbred 20 in Cool Springs. The cost is $1 per ticket with $1 popcorn and $1 drinks also available.
If your looking for a creative idea for a summer birthday this might be lots of fun. That's why my son was there, and he had a great time. Here is a list of the remaining movies:
"Madagascar" 6/17/09
"Prince of Egypt" 6/24/09
"Shrek 2" 7/1/09
"March of the Penguins" 7/8/09
"Kitt Kitridge" 7/15/09
"Tales of Despereaux" 7/22/09
"Jumanji" 7/29/09
All movies begin at 10a.m.
