Wiscasset Parks and Recreation and Partners in Education (PIE) are partnering July 28 for a family fun night at the community playground opposite Wiscasset Community Center on Gardiner Road. The event is part of WCC’s 25th anniversary year.

The games and social time start at 4 p.m. and lead up to a movie, Parks and Recreation Director Duane Goud said July 12. “I would encourage people to come out and enjoy a night out.”

Look for cornhole, a cookout, playground use and other activities. For more information, visit wiscassetme.myrec.com or call 882-8230.

“As long as the weather holds out I think it’ll be a great night,” Goud said. If the weather does not cooperate, he said the movie might be moved inside to WCC and the rest of the event might need to be canceled or postponed. 

PIE Chair Lucy Oyster Ackerman said July 16, PIE is “very excited to continue partnering with WCC, especially at such an important milestone. We welcome all families to stick around after the Rec's birthday party to enjoy our Free Movie In The Park. Concessions start at 7 p.m. and our movie, “Inside Out,” starts at 8 p.m.

“This is one of our give back events so the movie, popcorn and waters are free! We are really hoping that not only our Wiscasset residents but surrounding communities come out to celebrate with us,” Ackerman added.

Goud said more anniversary activities are still to come, including honoring volunteers and sponsors, probably in the fall.
