I am sure there are a bunch of fun free summer things to do in Jo County. i have signed my child up for scienceinthesummer.com free science camp. Anyone know of other stuff??
Several of the area movie theaters do morning shows fairly cheap (albeit not exactly free). The Dickinson Theater in Smithfield is doing older G and PG movies for $2/person on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays at 10 am. That actually INCLUDES the popcorn and drink.
I am going to bump and add to this *and* ask webbie to sticky for the summer... ___________________________________ Cool and cheap 4H camps/activities http://johnston.ces.ncsu.edu/content/jc4hsummerschedule ___________________________________ *Free* Wildlife activities at Centennial Campus in Raleigh https://www.ncwildlife.org/Apps/CentennialEdPrograms/Centennial_General_Pub_Programs.asp?region=5 ___________________________________ Regal Movie Theatre showings - *Free* Admission http://www.regmovies.com/nowshowing/familyfilmfestivalschedule.aspx?state=NC White Oak Stadium 14 1205 Timber Drive East Garner ,NC 27529 919-779-7499 06/15/2010-06/17/2010 Doogal (G) Planet 51 (PG) 06/22/2010-06/24/2010 Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (G) Imagine That (PG) 06/29/2010-07/01/2010 March Of The Penguins (G) Paul Blart: Mall Cop (PG) 07/06/2010-07/08/2010 Kit Kittredge: American Girl (G) Hotel For Dogs (PG) 07/13/2010-07/15/2010 ARCTIC TALE (G) Monsters Vs.

I don't see where anything is listed. Their movies are free, that's all I know. I always bring my own food/drink if going unless I am going to Smithfield. Personally, I would go to Target first and grab their 1.50 bag of popcorn/medium drink from the snack bar and then hit the theatre.
How exactly do you sneak the drink past the theater police? I could halfway understand the popcorn, but wouldn't a soaked and dripping pocketbook give you away? Obviously any kind of pocketbook would be rather conspicuous for a dude...and no I ain't carrying no man bag!
I don't think they really care. It is after all free movies for parents with children. In the "G" movies, lots of noise. The Chic-Fil-A cow is sometimes there with coupons. I walked in the other day with three huge water bottles in my hands, nobody said anything.
New Family Film Series Announced Five Films Featuring Fearless Kids in June and July CLAYTON, N.C - TheClayton Center and Ava Gardner Museum of Smithfield announce the Capital Bank and Parrish, Pulleyn & Young Wealth Management , Inc. Lazy Sundays Cinema At The Center film series. The series, which runs Sundays from June 20-July 25, includes five family films presented by The Clayton Center and the Ava Gardner Museum of Smithfield. The theme of the inaugural Summer 2010 series is Kids Courageous. Five Films Featuring Fearless Kids. Kathleen Thurston-Lighty, co-founder and organizer of the film series, said, "Superheroes like Batman and Superman are fun for kids to watch, but in these five films, children are the heroes, showing that sometimes it takes a kid to save the day." The series begins on Sunday, June 20, at 3 p.m., with a screening of the 1982 Steven Spielberg fantasy adventure ET: The Extra-Terrestrial (PG). The popular film is the story of Elliott, a lonely boy who befriends a friendly extraterrestrial, dubbed "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings find a way to help ET return home while keeping the alien hidden from their mother and the government. On June 27 the series presents Bend It Like Beckham (PG13), the 2002 comedy about bending the rules to reach your goal. Bend It Like Beckham explores the world of women's soccer and tells the timeless story of a young person whose dream conflicts with the expectations of her family and her community. Cinema at The Center continues on July 11 with a showing of the 2001 Academy Award winner for Best Animated Film Spirited Away (PG). This fantasy adventure is the tale of 10 year-old Chihiro who finds both friendship and inner strength in a battle to save her family from the gods and monsters she encounters in the mystical Land of Spirits. Whale Rider (PG13) is the fourth film featured in the series on July 18. Set on the east coast of New Zealand, Whale Rider is a contemporary story of love, rejection and triumph as a young Maori girl fights to fulfill a destiny her grandfather refuses to recognize. The film series closes on July 25 with The Incredibles (PG). This 2004 animated action adventure film follows a family of undercover superheroes who, while trying to live a quiet suburban life, are forced into action to save the world. Jessica Meadows Hammett, director of the Ava Gardner Museum, said, "These films were chosen because of their universal appeal - children and adults alike will enjoy these ageless classics" All films begin at 3 p.m. in the 600-seat renovated historic auditorium of The Clayton Center, located in downtown Clayton about 15 miles east of Raleigh. Tickets to individual films are $2.50 each (includes $1.00 service fee). Season passes, which include admission to all five films for just $10 per person, also are available. The new film series is made possible by support from Capital Bank and Parrish, Pulleyn & Young Wealth Management. Tickets are available through The Clayton Center Box Office located at 111 E. Second Street or by phone at 919-553-1737. \ not free but reasonably priced I thought. DB's wife
