Friday, September 15th
Begins at 8:00PM
Marshall-Lyon County Library
201 C St, Marshall, MN
Outdoor movie night at the Marshall-Lyon County Library! We will be hosting an in-car outdoor movie in the Marshall library parking lot on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Friday of the month. Times will change based on the sunset. Due to license requirements, we can't share the titles here. In this 1995 adventure, two children find themselves trapped within a board game. The only way out is to win--if they can survive! It is rated PG and runs for about an hour and 45 minutes. Learn more and see other upcoming car cinema events at https://marshalllyonlibrary.org/events/list/...
To ensure sightlines to the screen, space may be limited. Prime spots are first come, first served! These are in-vehicle events: you will use your car radio to tune in to the audio of the movie. When you arrive, tune your radio to 88.1 FM. In the event of rain, this event may instead be held indoors in the Marshall Library community room at the same time. This event will not be rescheduled.
