- Leffler Funeral Home of Benton will once again be sponsoring our free movie night series for area families. First of the season will feature the Disney movie Christopher Robin on Thursday, 12/27/18 @ 6pm
- In this heartwarming tale, Christopher Robin, the boy who had countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, has grown up and lost his way. Now it’s up to his spirited and loveable stuffed animals, Winnie The Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and the rest of the gang, to rekindle their friendship and remind him of endless days of childlike wonder and make-believe, when doing nothing was the very best something.
As always, families are invited to bring a blanket and camp out on the floor together. A limited number of tables and chairs will be set up for those wanting to avoid the carpet. Full concessions will be available for the show featuring Casey's Pizza!
