[June 15, 2016]  LINCOLN - The City of Lincoln continues the “3rd Fridays Downtown” summer series with “Movie Night”, which will take place on Friday, June 17 from 5:30pm to 10:00pm.

Bring your blankets and lawn chairs as we take you on a ride through the galaxy. This month’s event includes an outdoor showing of the latest episode in the Star War series – “The Force Awakens,” which will begin at approximately 7:30pm. We also encourage you to dress up as your favorite Star Wars character!

His Hands Outreach will be hosting a photo booth, duck pond game, and Bingo. Other activities include inflatables for all ages and the return of giant versions of popular games such as Jenga, Twister, Connect Four, and Tic-Tac-Toe – to name a few. Local residents are also hosting a 3-hour only Bags Tournament. The cost is
$10 per team with prizes awarded to the top teams.

Altorfer Inc. will showcase Caterpillar (CAT) equipment in the "Touch-A-Truck" feature for children this month.

Fat Boys BBQ will provide a quarter smoked chicken, Sorrento’s and Dominoes will once again provide pizza by the slice for $1, and Schwann’s will serve $1 ice cream treats for dessert.

Music this month will include performances by Von Strantz, Sawhorse, and Erisa Rei.

Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the vendor market and explore the downtown area as many businesses will have special extended hours to accommodate late night shopping.

3rd Fridays Downtown is made possible by the generosity of sponsors such as Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital, Ameren, Country Financial, Smiles on the Square, State Bank of Lincoln, and Trippy Drips.

Next month's theme will be "Summer Fun Night.” Stay tuned to the City of Lincoln Facebook page for more details.
