Cold Spring Film Society begins its free summer outdoor film series this Saturday 

Sound the trumpets: school will be out for the summer this Friday! And this Saturday, June 23, The Cold Spring Film Society kicks off their second annual free Outdoor Summer Film Series with the family classic The Goonies (1985). Treasure maps, booby traps, crooks, pirates and skeletons abound in this fun family adventure film from the minds of Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner.

The Goonies will start at sundown in Dockside Park (entrance just north of the Cold Spring bandstand). Admission is free and open to all. The Film Society will be popping fresh popcorn and there will be lemonade, raffle tickets, membership tote bags, new Summer Film Series T-shirts and more available for purchase. Bring a blanket and a picnic and come early to enjoy the amazing view before the starry night, and the film, ensues.
