Movie On Main Street

When you live in a small town like I do, there isn't much for families to do, especially on Friday nights. Luckily for us, our town got together with Bayside Church, they shut down Main street and decided to entertain us with a movie right smack in the center of town.

I took my two youngest and we went out for a fun filled family night and it only cost us a total of $2.00. Heck, that is spare change you find in the couch.

We didn't live too far, so we decided to walk instead of having to find parking. We arrived at about 5:30 PM. There was already music playing from a local band, 2 different jump houses. Lots of games for the kids to play. Best part, it was all FREE! There were a few food vendors, and we did spend 2$ on 2 popcorn's and 1 soda. We brought some of our own candy.

They had lots of jumpy houses for the kids

The trees were beautifully decorated

How cute, somebody painted the electrical boxes

When the sun set and it got dark, we layer out our blanket and all got comfortable to watch Despicable Me.

As the movie was playing, I looked around and saw how great a time everyone was having. They had white Christmas lights on the city trees and the weather was perfect.

Times like this I am so proud of my small town and proud of my community. A big thanks to Bayside Church and The City Of Woodland for putting together an awesome family night.

If you haven't heard of Bayside Church, you should really check them out. In no way am I trying to push religion on you, but Bayside does so much for communities. They help with fundraising and also help with The Angel Tree Program. You can learn about them here:

Funkyflick - find new movies opportunity

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Funkyflick Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Find new movies. Funkyflick knows how.

Have you ever fallen completely in love with a certain movie, book, or actor and thought to yourself, "I wish I could find another movie like"?

Well, now you can! I just found this new website called FunkyFlicks. Basically you go on to Funkyflicks at www.funkyflick.com and you start off by easily creating an account. Then you can go into the home screen and decide what you want to search for. One of my favorite's is Goodfellas so I decided to search for movies that are similar to Goodfellas. After hitting search, I was so surprised that Funkyflicks quickly provided me with 36 movies that were similar to my search. I honestly thought that I had seen all the so called gangster movies similar to Goodfellas but I was wrong. Funkyflick showed me new movies, old movies that I had never heard of but they looked good.

You are also able to drag your cursor over the movie titles and you will get a brief synopsis of the movie. Click on the movie and you get even more options such as to share on Facebook, buy from Amazon or add it to your personal movie picks by choosing the Pick It button. 

There are other things to do on Funkyflicks too. You can invite friends to join you by email or Facebook and also connect by Facebook. For the real movie buffs such as myself, there are several different forums to choose from and converse with others, or find out more about Funkyflicks pick of the week.

It is pretty new and still in beta, but I played around with it for a while and I had no problems.

So go ahead and check out www.funkyflick.com and let me know what you think. I really think you will be surprised at the results.
