Family Movie Night: Cars

Lightning McQueen wins again! Join us for a special showing of Cars, a movie about a famous, trouble-making racecar who finds himself stranded along Route 66. Watch as he forms unexpected friendships with a group of silly, fun-loving cars and trucks from the tiny town of Radiator Springs. Families will then get a goody bag full of hands-on activities all about automobile manufacturing in Connecticut.
