Presentation of the Moon Landing Movie in the Park (July 20).

Body

Summary:

Did you know that July 20 is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing? Mark your calendars to celebrate with City of Deer Park Tourism, the Parks and Recreation Department, the Deer Park Public Library and the Deer Park Animal Shelter and Adoption Center!

In celebration of this historic event, we are hosting a FREE Moon Landing Movie in the Park! Join us at dusk, which we expect to be around 8:20PM, on Saturday, July 20 at Dow Park. Dow Park is located at 610 East San Augustine.

We’ll play a special message from the International Space Station, a documentary recounting the historic moon landing and Houston’s role in the event, and a screening of "Unsung Heroes"!

The Deer Park Citizens Police Academy will provide concessions for purchase, so make sure you arrive early to grab your snacks. The Deer Park Public Library will have lots of important information about their Summer Reading Program, as well as giveaways. Additionally, the Deer Park Animal Shelter and Adoption Center will have adoptable dogs with them - make sure you orbit over and say hi!

Although you won’t need a telescope to see what’s going on in space, we encourage you to bring a lawn chair or blanket to fully enjoy the view.
