Ronkonkoma Movie Night: CANCELED

Poor weather washes out plans to screen animated family film.

The Ronkonkoma Fire Department has decided to cancel tonight's outdoor screening of "Over the Hedge" due to inclement weather. The same film will instead be screened on July 18, weather permitting.

The decision to cancel the event despite some signs of the rain clearing up was based on concerns that the community would avoid the wet grass or the chance of rain during the film, causing low turnout, according to Chief Mike Iannuzzi.

On June 27 the department held its "Movie Under The Stars" despite the forecast and experienced low attendance.

"Over the Hedge" is a 2006 animated family film about a band of animals that encounter the human race. The department plans to hold weekly movie nights all summer. Admission to the films is $5 per person with $1 concessions.
