(Seguin) — Get ready for some prehistoric fun during tonight’s Movie Night in the Park. The Seguin Parks and Recreation Department is inviting all families out to tonight’s free movie showing at Park West.
Recreation Superintendent Lindsay Hajek says the parks department will “Take 2” in its efforts to launch this year’s movie schedule.
“This will be our first movie this year. We are showing Jurassic Park. Unfortunately, we were very sad, we had to cancel Barbie. We are going to reschedule that one to the end of the year, but we did have three movies planned for this whole year,” said Hajek.
Hajek says hosting the movie at Park West is also very exciting for the city and encourages folks to come out and get cozy.
“We will set up our enormous blow-up movie screen. We’ve got a wonderful projector as well so we encourage families to bring their own chair, their own blanket, snacks — whatever you would like to bring in to enjoy the movie. We will have the movie starting at 8:45 p.m. and we will also have food trucks on site so if you would like to support the local food trucks, they will be out there. We have snow cones from Kona Ice. We have K&J Roasted Corn. Easy’s Snack Shack and we will also have Any Wich Way that will be there as well. So, a ton of a variety of food trucks but feel free to bring your own food as well,” said Hajek.
Families will also want to come out a bit early. That’s because Hajek says there will be a special guest at tonight’s movie.
“Tonight, we will have a special guest visitor. We are going to have Blue the Raptor there for a photo opp. So, Blue is going to come from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. and (he) is from an organization called Jurassic SA and just a quick photo opp. They will have a line going and you can see the raptor and then get prepared for the movie,” said Hajek.
Helping to make the free movie possible is Seguin’s HEB. Again, the movie gets underway at 8:45 p.m. The screen will be located on the soccer field at Park West.
