This fun-filled family “Movie Under the Stars” evening begins at 7:00 pm, with free fun and games for kids provided by the Boise Parks & Rec Mobile Recreation Van and food vendors!

Capture the flag and dodgeball are favorite activities for kids of all ages! At dusk, Annie (2014) will be shown on a huge 30′ inflatable movie screen.

Your VPNA board will be on hand to chit chat and discuss neighborhood happenings. We will also be hosting a raffle (see images) before the movie starts! Raffle tickets are $1 each. Thanks to Betsie Richardson Studio, Frazier Images, Stewart’s Gem Shop, Matt, and Tyler for their donations.

Meet at 10am on Saturday, June 28 at the north side of Fairview park (on W Bannock St near 23rd St). Ride with others in the neighborhood to the downtown farmer’s market. The bike ride is guided with a lead and a tail and we will go over some safety tips before leaving. This is a great opportunity to try cycling downtown for your first or hundredth time. Please bring your helmets. Everyone in the family is welcome. Ride On!
