Peace Love and Watermelon

Candler Park’s” Peace Love and Watermelon” is 
August 10th.  This event is essentially 
pre- movie festivities. From 5p.m. to 8p.m. (or while supplies last) we are 
offering FREE ICE COLD WATERMELON! The CPNO has agreed to pay for it and the 
Clifton men will be slicing it up for ya. At 7p.m. we will have a seed spitting 
contest for the kids-there will be prizes! Also, our friend Captain Planet will 
be on hand. However, his nemesis the plastic trash bag monster will probably 
show up. (This is usually kind of awkward.) Also we will get a visit from the 
National Watermelon Queen. (Yes there really is one.) She is selected annually 
to promote awareness of the nutritional benefits as well as the economic value 
of watermelon.  Uncle Maddios, the 
official pizza of Candler Park Movie Night will be there, too. Epworth will 
also be giving out FREE Popcorn just before movie time. Then shortly after 8p.m 
(when it gets dark enough) we will be showing the movie” The Lorax”.  



 In the event of a rainy day, please check 
www.friendsofCandlerPark.org.  Rain days 
are typically scheduled the following weekend. You will want to get there early 
for the best spot! Once again, well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. Bring 
your own coolers. The Candler Park Movie Night is produced by Park 
Pride/Friends of Candler Park. Also, with help from Epworth Methodist/ Clifton 
House.  Thanks to our sponsors Front Page 
News, Tijuana Garage, Candler Park Market, our official pizza, Uncle Maddio’s. And 
a huge thank you to our presenting sponsor, the Candler Park Neighborhood 
Organization.
