Chestertown Recreation Commission announces that this Friday July 25 continues the season of family friendly films to be shown outdoors in downtown Chestertown with the 1979 star studded original Muppet Movie.
The “original” Muppet Movie stars a Kermit the Frog and his band of merry Muppets as the take the long journey from the swamp to seek fame and fortune in Hollywood. With cameo appearances from everyone from Bob Hope to Richard Pryor and Steve Martin, this movie of the stands the test of time and is as touching and hilarious today as it was when it was released.The CRC realized that with the influx of new Muppet films, the original was still the best of the films and many of the younger viewers would get a chance to see it for the first time, while their parents could relieve the magic of the rainbow connection.
The movies will be shown at the Foot of High Street on the Custom House lawn. All Shows start at dusk, (approximately 8:30) and are free to the public.
The CRC will be on hand most nights to offer popcorn. Bring blankets and lawn chairs, (low seated are preferred) The rest of the summer schedule of movies will be on alternating Fridays, August 8– Space Jam, Aug 22– Bolt and September 5– ³The Lego Movie² and a special Halloween showing of ³Ghostbusters³ in October.
