Plan to join thousands of local citizens in downtown Hagerstown for the annual "Donut Drop" on New Year's Eve from 5-7 p.m.
Directly after the drop, Bridge of Life will show the movie
"Incredibles 2" at Bridge of Life Church at 14 South Potomac Street,
Hagerstown, MD 21740
|
|
Everyone's favorite family of superheroes is back in "Incredibles 2" - but this time Helen is in the spotlight, leaving Bob at home with Violet and Dash to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life. It's a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again-which is easier said than done, even when they're all Incredible.
Phone:
301-791-1674
The free movie starts after the Donut Drop around 7:15 p.m.
with free drinks and popcorn available in the lobby.
Bring the kids!
Bring the neighbors!
