Families are invited to a free Thanksgiving-themed movie at Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center

GLEN ELLYN, IL – Families are invited to Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center for a free showing of the greatest turkey movie of all time, FREE BIRDS. This fun, family-friendly event will take place on the indoor turf on November 21 at 8pm. Complimentary popcorn will be available for all moviegoers.

“This past summer, the Park District offered six free outdoor movies in our parks,” said Jeannie Robinson, Assistant Superintendent of Recreation Services, “We’re excited to offer our first indoor movie at Ackerman. The turf is about as close as you can get to the feel of park in winter, without the snow and ice. We look forward to seeing everyone there and offering yet another free event to the community.”

FREE BIRDS tells the story of two rival turkeys who travel back in time to prevent their own kind from becoming a savory Thanksgiving tradition. Participants are encouraged to bring their blankets or lawn chairs. FREE BIRDS is rated PG.
Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center is located at 800 St. Charles Road in Glen Ellyn.

For more information on this event, email Jeannie Robinson at [email protected] or call (630) 858-2462.
