Meet the Beatles! Just one month after they exploded onto the U.S. scene with their Ed Sullivan Show appearance, John, Paul, George, and Ringo began working on a project that would bring their revolutionary talent to the big screen. A Hard Day’s Night, in which the bandmates play cheeky comic versions of themselves, captured the astonishing moment when they officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation and changed music forever. Directed with raucous, anything-goes verve by Richard Lester, A Hard Day’s Night reconceived the movie musical and remains one of the most deliriously entertaining movies of all time.

N THE SPIRIT OF TRYING NEW THINGS and keeping it fun and interesting, here is our newest, latest, greatest idea. Ready? So, you know how sometimes people buy a Mystery Box, not knowing what is inside on the promise that it is something good and worth at least as much as was paid for it? This is a spin on that idea.
We are going to do a series of themed “Mystery Box Movies” that will include a great movie with a great Mystery Box snack. The catch? You don’t know what the movie is until the screen lights up. It’s a surprise! It’s all about the intrigue. Who doesn’t like a surprise?
Trust us. We want to bring you the best in entertainment. We will have teaser hints along the way, and you might get a good idea or even guess the movie.
Our first MBM is The 80’s Edition. COME DRESSED IN YOUR FAVORITE 80’s STYLES.
The cost is $15, and includes a snack box by Nashville Fudge Kitchen. It’ll be gnarly and tubular. Duh.
Enjoy this art fair and live music sponsored by Friends of McCormick’s Creek! Check back at a closer date for more information, but make sure to get this date on your calendar.

SIREN acts as a technical advisor on a non-profit, volunteer basis. SIREN and its volunteers are not paid in any way. The City of Bloomington collaborates with SIREN on this program to further demonstrate its support for renewable energy. See https://bloomington.in.gov/sustainability/solarize for details. **the city does not subsidize purchases**
The Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network (SIREN) formed in 2008 to promote an alternative energy model to reduce dependence on coal. Since then, we have continued to help more and more homes, businesses, churches, governmental buildings, and schools become solar powered. By presenting free, public Going Solar programs, and organizing Solarize group-purchase programs in partnership with city teams around the state, we help overcome barriers to adoption of solar in the Midwest by demonstrating its performance, affordability, and availability. If you want to see our culture move away from fossil fuels as a foundation, embracing the possibility of carbon-neutral energy, then join our efforts right here in southern Indiana.

Steve will be at green benches by the trail beyond the main building. Please be on time or he may take off after a short wait. Walkers of all abilities are welcome.

A classic favorite: Three cowboy movie stars from the silent era — Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), Lucky Day (Steve Martin) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) — are fired when one of their movies bombs. In what seems to be a career-saving offer, young Mexican woman Carmen (Patrice Martinez) offers them a high-paying gig in her village. The three jump at the opportunity, expecting to do their typical act, but Carmen believes they are really heroes and asks them to rid her village of bad guy El Guapo (Alfonso Arau).

- A link to access our virtual event – an hour of inspirational stories, music, and fun! Don’t miss this entertaining and uplifting night!
- A meal from a local restaurant. By purchasing a ticket to this year’s event, you are supporting local restaurants!

It’s a win-win-win for us all!
