Family Movie Night to Feature 'Cars'

Nov 02, 2006

Fairmont State Student Government is sponsoring a free Family Movie Night on Friday, Nov. 10. The Disney Pixar movie "Cars" will be shown at 6 p.m. in Colebank Hall gymnasium. Admission is free and open to the public.

"We really look forward to these types of events because they give us an opportunity to strengthen our ties with the community," said Student Government President Shane Livingston. "It's especially rewarding when we sponsor events for the families in our area. We want the members of our community to feel welcome on campus."

According to the official web site, "Cars," rated G, is a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line. Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there's more to life than trophies and fame.

"We love this movie!" said Laurie Johnston, Director of Student Activities."'Cars' really is great for all ages. This event is also for our students, faculty and staff with their own children. This is a great way to have some free fun on a Friday night with your family. We will also be having a Family Carnival & Health Fair in the spring on campus."
