LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center had a showing of the first movie in their Groupie Movies series Thursday evening.
Once a month through April, the Civic Center will be showing family movies on the big screen. This is the third year for the Groupie Movies series but the first time they've held a Groupie Movie Night since the pandemic.
Thursday's movie was "The Polar Express" and free peppermint lattes were handed out to get viewers in the Christmas spirit. The Civic Center Foundation keeps ticket prices for this event low so that as many people as possible can come out and enjoy a nostalgic movie with their family.
"A $5 ticket price is so affordable for the community. We want people to be able to bring their whole family to come out for a great night like this and just make it accessible and fun for everyone," said Carmen Cecala-Wells, the Director of Development of the Civic Center Foundation.
The next Groupie Movie Night will be on Sunday, January 22. They will be showing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (1990). Tickets can be purchased on their website or in person the day of the movie.
