JULY 30TH TONITE’S MOVIE The Namesake CANCELLED
Hey Everyone–
The radar maps are heavy with green (rain!) and heading our way –so unfortunately we are going to cancel. We have not given up on “The Namesake”–check back, we may sneak it in on another unused “raindate” or switch out our documentary at the end of the season. Sorry to all –but you must not fool with Mother Nature.
