There`s nothing like a movie night under a full moon! Family Movie Night in the park brought out all the fun. It was jam-packed fun with family-friendly games, a hula-hoop contest, special appearances from our local heroes in capes, prizes, treats, and more! Space Jam under the stars was one to remember 📽️🚀

Amazing treats from our amazing vendors – @jeansweets_ & @dirty.sodashack
Delicious popcorn donated by Marcus Gurnee Cinema 🍿

Special thank you to our sponsor @greerinsurancegroupinc !
Brought to you in partnership with the @villageofgurnee 😉
