Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who “drive-in feature” next week in Edgefield


web posted August 7, 2008
PSA - The Town of Edgefield and the Edgefield Community Development Association brings another fun-filled Downtown Drive-in event to the Square in historic Edgefield on Friday, August 15th.  Bring your family, your neighbors, and your friends and gather around the Edgefield Square for the showing of the movie, “Horton Hears a Who.” This adorable movie is based on the beloved book first published in 1954, and is about a very imaginative elephant, named Horton. 

Horton hears a cry for help coming from just a tiny speck of dust that is floating through the air.  Because of his gigantic ears, Horton initiates contact with the Mayor of Whoville, and becomes determined to help this tiny civilization despite his friends in his community thinking he has lost his mind!  Each generation will be sure to find the value of the life lessons demonstrated in this favorite story of American family literature.

Activities for the young, and the young at heart, will begin at 7:30pm on the Edgefield Square.  There will be a dress-up as your favorite “Dr. Seuss” character, a watermelon seed spitting contest, gold fish cracker toss, and face painting.  

Bring your family, your chairs, and your blanket and enjoy another fun movie night under the stars.  The movie will begin at approximately 9:00pm with the Wachovia Bank Building again being the movie backdrop.  There will be free popcorn and snow cones again courtesy of the SC National Guard Armory, HHC 122nd Engineer Battalion, and sodas available for purchase through the Edgefield Community Development Association with all proceeds going towards the Downtown Drive-in movie fund. 

Any donations received during this event will be greatly appreciated and utilized to bring you another Downtown Drive-in event, possibly a Christmas movie for the holiday season.  Some of your favorite merchants will be open with extended hours, including Still Magnolia’s, Jane Bess Pottery, Park Row Market and be sure to stop in at Paperwhites between the hours of 6-8pm when all toys will be on sale.

There will be plenty of parking available at the Discovery Center parking lot, the Dialysis Center, Edgefield First Baptist, and along the side streets of Edgefield.   Shuttle service will be provided by the Edgefield Police Department, and they will ensure that the event remains a safe and friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy.  Please – no pets or unattended children.  In case of rain, the event will relocate to the old Edgefield Gym on Church Street just down from the Edgefield First Baptist Church. 

The Edgefield Community Development Association would like to pay special thanks to Anderson and Anderson Attorney at Law for sponsoring the August Downtown Drive-in event.  We’d also like to thank Pamela Moore of Paperwhites for coordinating the children’s activities, Lauren Virgo and the National Wild Turkey Federation for supplying the movie projection equipment, the SC National Guard for the use of the popcorn and snow cone machines, Jane Bess of Jane Bess Pottery for her marketing efforts, and all those in the community that have contributed their time, effort, and ideas to make this event another memorable evening for the Town of Edgefield.

Mayor Ken Durham “was thrilled with the community turnout and support for the July Downtown Drive-in event, and looks forward to all of us working together to continue to make Edgefield a great place to live, shop, and visit.”  Come join in on the fun, Friday, August 15th for another fun community event.
