SPRINGFIELD, N.

J., July 21 -- Union County issued the following news release:

The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Department of Parks & Community Renewal are happy to announce that the "Family Flix" summer film series will team up with Union County's observance of National Night Out on Tuesday evening, August 3, at Meisel Park in Springfield.

"The 'Family Flix' feature film, Shrek 2, will begin at dusk, but come early to Meisel Park to participate in Union County's observance of National Night Out, which starts at 6 p.m.," said Freeholder Vice Chairman Deborah Scanlon, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. "Bring a blanket or beach chair to claim your spot on the lawn or save a seat in the bleachers - either way, the early birds will have plenty of interesting things to do and see before the movie."

"Shrek 2" is the 2004 DreamWorks animated comedy adventure. Right after their honeymoon, Shrek and Princess Fiona are in for quite an adventure when they are invited to have dinner with Fiona's parents. "Shrek 2" will be shown at dusk, outdoors, free of charge at Meisel Park. Singers from the Metro Rhythm Chorus will entertain the audience before the movie.

National Night Out is an event that involves neighborhood organizations, law enforcement agencies, civic groups and businesses to strengthen police-community partnerships and local anti-crime programs.

The other dates for Family Flix free outdoor movies are:

* Tuesday, August 17 at Nomahegan Park in Cranford: Trailside naturalists will lead a Dusk Stroll in the park to see if evening noises are monsters and aliens or simply bullfrogs and katydids, before the showing of "Monsters vs. Aliens."

* Tuesday, August 24 at Nomahegan Park: Watchung Stable staff members will guide lead-line rides on horses for youngsters before the adventure comedy, "Racing Stripes."

All movies start at dusk in nice weather only. For more information, call the Union County Department of Parks and Community Renewal at 908-527-4900. For rain information in the parks call 908-558-4079 after 3:00 p.m. For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement, please contact Editor at htsyndication@hindustantimes.com
