Join us Monday, October 24, for the final movie in our farm to table documentary series.  Most Americans now purchase organic food in some form, but don’t know what “organic” really means. In Organic We Trust  follows filmmaker Kip Pastor on a journey to answer the essential questions about organic: What exactly is certified organic? Is it really better for us, or just marketing hype? Is organic the key to transforming our food system?  Thjis 80 minute movie is shown for free and is suitable for all ages. 

Make your Halloween extra spooky with a classic monster movie double feature.   At 6:00 pm, Victor Frankenstein decides to create a perfect man. One abnormal brain later and there's trouble afoot.  It all ends in a burning windmill.  Or does it?  At 7:15, the creature returns, and he'd like a bride.  Angry villagers, lightning, the sinister Dr. Pretorious, exciting chases, and more.   Both movies are shown free of charge in glorious black and white, and are fun for all ages.
