Movies and Music in City Parks

By Christine Anne Piesyk | August 15, 2007 |

Back-to-back concerts and are being offered in Clarksville’s parks on Saturday August 18th, followed a week later by an animated movie feature on the 25th.

The latest Concerts in the Park will feature two bands, Shadow, a local rock band, at 6:30 p.m., and the area rhythm and blues group, Eclipse, immediately following at 7:30 p.m. at McGregor Park on Saturday. Both performances are free and open to the public. Guests are asked to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets and enjoy the evening’s entertainment.

Movie in The Park, which will be held at Fairgrounds Park on August 25th, will offer an animated feature about a scheming raccoon fooling a mismatched family of forest creatures into helping him repay a debt of food by invading the new suburban sprawl that popped up while they were hibernating…and learning a lesson about family himself.

Pre-show games begin at 6:30 p.m. with the PG movie screening at 8 p.m. Admission is free and concessions are available.

About Christine Anne Piesyk

With 40 years behind me (Huh? What? How did that happen?) as a journalist, feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, and film/theater/arts critic, I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago. having completed a midlife undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts. I am currently an MFA student at Goddard College. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and an issue-specific commission for the City of Northampton, MA, and did minor undergraduate work in studies in urban planning and community development. I am a community volunteer and a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, classical music junkie; I also and design and make sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I have an unquenchable interest in just about everything. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure, with the best things still to come.
