Youth Invited to Family Movie Night at the Seeley Lake Fire Hall, March 10

SEELEY LAKE – The Missoula County Sheriff’s Office and Seeley Lake Rural Fire District invite youth and families to the Seeley Lake Fire Hall March 10 at 7 p.m. for Movie Night. This month the featured movie is “Finding Dory.” Missoula County Deputy Mike Sunderland said they are hoping to make this a monthly event.

“Kids need something to do in this town,” said Sunderland. “Outside of outdoor activities, there is no hangout for the kids.”

While the event is geared towards the elementary students, Sunderland said youth in high school and families are welcome as well. Children in kindergarten or younger must be accompanied by an adult.

The doors open at 6:30 p.m. The movie starts at 7 p.m. Cory’s Valley Market and Rovero’s donated drinks and snacks but everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite movie snacks to eat or share.

“Finding Dory” will be projected in the fire truck bay. Next month Sunderland said they will choose a movie geared towards the older youth.

“Bring a great attitude and a comfy chair,” said Sunderland.

Transportation can be provided if needed. Call Sunderland for more information or to arrange a ride, 406-531-0766.
