ADAMS — On Friday, July 11, the town of Adams and South Adams Savings Bank will kick off the summer with the premiere showing of the ninth annual Adams Movies Under the Stars program. The gala opening will take place on the lawn in front of the Town Hall from 6 to 9 p.m. The rain date will be on Saturday, July 12. The hit movie “Enchanted” will be featured at dusk, or 8:45 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
In conjunction with Movies Under the Stars, South Adams Savings Bank will be holding its sixth annual community appreciation event. Free hot dogs, popcorn, fried dough, sno-cones, and other refreshments will be served. Kids of all ages will have a chance to catch some cash in the cash cube and participate in other games and giveaways. Bingo will be played at 7 p.m.
“As a sponsor of Movies Under the Stars for the sixth year, we continue to enjoy providing our customers and community with an evening of fun and entertainment,” commented Charles O’Brien, president of South Adams Savings Bank. “Each year this event grows larger than years prior with more families coming out to spend quality time together.”
“What better way to celebrate summer than to head outside, lay back and watch a movie with friends and loved ones?” said George Haddad, Adams Events Program Committee member. “We look forward to this year’s Movies Under the Stars program being bigger, better, and filled with more excitement for the entire family and all members of the community. For the sixth straight year, South Adams Savings Bank has contributed a great deal to the success of the Movies Under the Stars and we are pleased to be working with the bank on this exciting kick-off night once again.”
