The McGuffey Memories historical society will host a family outdoor movie night on Friday, July 22--an event that was postponed by poor weather.
Beginning at 9:30 p.m. the society will show Disney-Pixar's Luca (2021), described on IMDB as "On the Italian Riviera, an unlikely but strong friendship grows between a human being and a sea monster disguised as a human."
The showing will be on the lawn behind the community center, 404 Courtright St., McGuffey. Free popcorn and drinks will be served.
