Here are some great free or low-cost activities in the SB area this weekend! With the awesome weather expected, it's a perfect opportunity to get outside. Enjoy!
- SBIFF "Applebox" Free Movie screening for families - Saturday 1/28, 9:30 am - Noon. Arlington Theater. K-9 Pals volunteers will be participating in and bringing out adoptable pups to the 2012 edition of the S.B. International Film Festival (SBIFF) children-centric screening program called AppleBox. AppleBox celebrates the families of the local S.B. community by allowing children the opportunity to be exposed to and intrigued by film.
This rare opportunity includes free admission, pre-movie entertainment, and popcorn for attendees.
The first installment of AppleBox features a 9:30 am red carpet walk, followed by events including face painting, arts and crafts, photo opportunities, live music, and stage performances by--of course--dogs.
The event concludes with a screening of the independent Australian film, Red Dog. Based on a true story, this family film features an irresistibly lovable wandering dog that jumps in the front seat of a young couple's car on their way to work. It will capture the hearts of kids and parents alike.
For more information, contact K-9 Pals president, Janelle Ward, 805-570-0415 or info@K-9PALS.org.
