Our largest movie attendance was in Big Lake for the movie Monsters vs. Aliens where we counted over 700 people! Last year, Big Lake set our commission attendance record with 1000 people! This year we did something new in Rockford when we setup a screen inside the Rockford High School auditorium for a showing of"The Princess and the Frog". The outside winds prevented us from setting up in the park, so we used the indoor theater to keep everyone happy. This event turned out great and we would like to thank Rockford Councilperson Rick Martinson for his help.
