It's not too late to grab your lawn chairs, sit back and enjoy a movie in Lions Park. Movies in the Park has returned for its third year with free flicks at the Lions Park Amphitheatre. The Cheyenne Parks and Recreation event is sponsored by Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, which provides the movie equipment, and Bresnan Communications, which provides the movies.
This free event is held every Tuesday at sundown through August 17th (but no movie on July 27th), so there are still a few showings left for you to catch before the summer comes to an end. Participants are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs and be prepared for changes in weather during these movies. Donations are accepted for outlying costs for staffings.
