Matinee at the Rec - 2025 Winter REGISTER

January 19th is National Popcorn Day, and to celebrate we are excited to host our first Matinee at the Rec! 

We will be playing Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993, G)

"Three pets (Chance, a young dog unfamiliar with the world; Shadow, an aging, wise dog; and Sassy, a snobby cat) are left behind when their owners go on vacation. Unsure of what happened, they set out on a quest to find their owners. This journey across America is very dangerous and they risk never seeing their owners again. They travel across forested mountains and areas of wide-open countryside, while their owners search for them in the same areas."

Will Chance, Shadow, and Sassy make it home to their beloved owners? Join us for this fun afternoon and find out!

Popcorn included, of course!
