Fowler Automotive Films on the Lawn: Napoleon Dynamite

Friday, May 24
8:45pm

I guess you could say things are gettin’ pretty serious. It’s time to take a break from cage fighter training and chatting online all day to enjoy a Film on the Lawn at Philbrook.

Join us as we kick off the season, Rex Kwon Do style, with crowd favorite, Napoleon Dynamite!

Arrive early for pre-show activities and picnicking on the Film Lawn.

Hone your liger drawing skills or sketch a portrait of your date at our art station. Take a selfie at Deb’s Glamour Shots or show off those sweet dance moves you’ve been practicing from D’Kwon’s Dance Grooves. Get “tattooed” with face painting by Kaitie B. (Vote for Pedro!) or, if you’re freakin’ starved, there will be tots (and more) served at the visiting Food Trucks.

Put on your parachute pants, “real big” sleeves, or “incredible” suit for our costume contest – there will be some sweet prizes for winners. LUCKY!

“Watching Napoleon Dynamite at Philbrook is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m 100% positive it’s my soul mate. Don’t worry, it’s not too late for you to book a ticket. Peace out.” -Kip
