It features 45 minutes of audience participation, squeaky-clean comedy, bright/colorful props, and mind-blowing magic.

At about 8:30 p.m. when it is dark, the movie “Because of Winn Dixie” will start.
(VIDEO: Watch the Because of Winn Dixie trailer.)
Based on the perennial best selling book by Kate DiCamillo, the 2005 movie tells the story of a lonely young girl who adopts an orphaned dog she names Winn-Dixie (for the supermarket where she found him).
It’s all about heart — a perfect family movie, for boys and girls, young and old alike!
The bond between the girl and her special companion brings together the people in a small Florida town and heals her own troubled relationship with her father.
The movie stars ten year old AnnaSophia Robb as the lonely girl, Jeff Daniels as her father, Eva Marie Saint as the librarian, Cicely Tyson, as a blind woman who teaches the girl what it means to truly see, and singer-songwriter Dave Matthews as a troubled but kind pet store manager.
The title role of Winn-Dixie was played by two large, lovable Picardy Shepherds.
The Running Time is 106 minutes.
Admission for the Magic Show and Movie is free. Parking is $2.00 per car.
People should bring their own blankets or lawn chairs, and mosquito repellant, just in case. For more information phone 967-0965.
The magic show is sponsored by the Dalila Namy State Farm Insurance Office in Port Chester, NY. The Outdoor Movie is sponsored by Carpet Trends of Rye.
