Big Lake Hosting Free Outdoor Movie Night in May

The weather is warming up and soon summer will be in full swing. To celebrate, Big Lake is hosting a free outdoor movie night on Friday, May 21 at Big Lake Lakeside Park.

They'll be showing the DreamWorks Movie 'The Croods A New Age' from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The parking lot will officially open at 8 p.m. and the movie will actually start at dusk, closer to 9 p.m. If the weather is bad, they'll reschedule the event for Friday, May 28.

The movie is the sequel to the 2013 movie 'The Croods'. It's about a cave family named the Croods who live in a dangerous time period. They're searching for a place to settle down. They stumble upon a modern village with a more evolved family.

You don't have to sign up in advance or anything--just show up and get ready to watch a free movie under the stars. What a cool activity for the family!
