Don't miss family movie night in Kuna Friday, July 17

Kuna is a great town and we are happy to be there with our Walnut Creek development. Hoping to start a new tradition, we are hosting the Kuna Family Movie Night starting Friday, July 17.

The first movie, “Journey to the Center of The Earth” in 3-D, will be shown at 9:15 p.m. at Kuna City Park, following live music. Free 3-D glasses will be available to the first 300 people. Another movie is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15 and other dates in August, September and October will be announced. All events are free to the public.

The idea for Kuna Family Movie Night began when I realized there were other valley movie nights, but none in Kuna and I thought it would be good to bring people together on nice evenings to enjoy a family event in Kuna. I like holding community events.

On June 20, we held a grand opening garden party for the Ambleside townhome development in Boise that attracted about 500 people over the course of the day. Last September, we held Family Fun Day at Walnut Creek, complete with bouncy jumps, kids games, live music, prizes, hosted ice cream truck and lunch. The down turn in the housing market has affected us, but we have never stopped thinking about Kuna.

From 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. there will be live music. Parents or guardians must attend with young children and they are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, sleeping bags, pillows and ice chests for food.

I am also inviting local non-profits, clubs, school groups and restaurants to set up concession or other tables to fund raise during the event. Food vendors will need to get permits via City Hall. We are also offering sponsorship opportunities for local businesses. Businesses would get their name on the movie screen, in newspaper ads, and any other marketing in association with the Kuna Family Movie Night.
