CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Join Clarksville Parks and Recreation this Saturday, June 29, at Liberty Park for this week’s Movies in the Park event, featuring the recent blockbuster, “Lincoln,” which is rated PG-13.  Movie-goers can also enjoy a special appearance by Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln.

All movies begin at dusk, with pre-show activities, “Move before the Movies,” taking place an hour prior. This week’s “Move before the Movies” is a Tae Kwon Do activity, sponsored by the Clarksville YMCA. Movies in the Park will also be raffling off three lawn chairs for those in attendance.  Be sure to bring your blankets and lawn chairs.  As always, you are welcome to bring your picnic basket, but concessions will also be available including biscuits and sweet tea from sponsor Bojangles! Sorry, no pets allowed.

Don’t forget, the movie “Brave” that was original scheduled to show May 4, has been rescheduled to July 27 at Heritage Park.  “Les Miserables,” which was also rescheduled due to rain will show August 17 at Liberty Park.
