Visit Downtown Washington this weekend for a fabulous time viewing over 40 films! (or just watch 5 of them, totally up to you, it’s a ‘choose your own adventure’ type thing)
The F2F volunteers have been working their tails off to get all 5 venues ready for your viewing pleasure. Kick the weekend off with a FREE concert at JP’s 207 on Friday, April 11th. The Buckmiller Schwager Band will be playing right after a special screening of the film they were featured in last year, ‘To Memphis & Back’. Come at 5p for the film & 6p for the show. Saturday starts at the Historic State Theatre, then enjoy walking around downtown for the rest of the films.
