Movie in the Park Draws Hundreds'to North Shore
Over five hundred Miami Beach residents flocked to North Shore Park Youth Center's field
on Friday, February 10th for the first in a series of "Movie in the Park" events planned for
2006. The theme of the night was "Haunted Valentine", mixing Valentine camival games with
"Haunted" bounce houses! It was a night full of music, games, food, and fun that culminated
in the presentation of the animated film "The Corpse Bride".
Children played for 2 hours in haunted house-themed bounce houses while adults listened
to DJ music and purchased hot dogs and sodas from the concession area. Participants took
advantage of the cupid cut-out photo station to take funny valentine's pictures. They also
won prizes at the carnival game booths with such games as the bean bag toss featuring
artwork from "The Corpse Bdde" movie. Finally, they settled into their chairs and blankets at
8pm for the movie presentation on a huge 24 X 26 ft. projection screen.
