For those bored with the lack of activities in the community this summer, the Village of Tupper leaders have arranged to bring a drive-in movie to the municipal park this Saturday.
Residents are invited to drive their vehicles to the municipal park in time for the 9p.m. screening of Will Smith's “Men in Black.”
The event is being organized by North Country Radio- Adirondack 105 and Tupper Lake's 102.1, dubbed “The Mix.” The primary sponsor is Casella Waste Management and 28 individuals businesses in the area, according to Ethan Gawel, the radio station's program director.
The radio station is working with Eric Wilson of Good Guy Productions of Bloomingdale to furnish a large inflatable screen on which to show the movie. Eric's company has furnished large inflatable bounce houses and other family fun attractions to Tupper Lake events in the past year or so.
Using an FM translater that evening, the radio station staff will broadcast the audio of the movie into the cars of those in attendance that evening on a channel to be announced that evening.
The event is free but any donations collected that evening will benefit the work of Tupper Lake's River Pigs/Keeper of the Diamond committee working to bring the semi-pro league here.
In the event of rain the drive-in movie will be screened on Sunday night at 9p.m.
