Despicable Me | December 28

"Just so know [Mom], we’re about to do something. It's very very big. Very important, when you hear about it, you're going to be very proud…" Parks & Recreation is hosting a Despicable Me marathon! “OH YEAH!!!” Each show will be presented at a different Parks & Recreation facility over the course of a month. The original film will start things off at Treadwell Arena on December 28 where you can watch and skate or enjoy the show from the bleachers. The movie begins at 6:30 p.m. and doors open 15 minutes prior. Regular admission applies to those wishing to skate,  with a maximum 100 skaters, and free to those who want to enjoy the show from the bleachers.
