The Moriarty Future Farmers of America will be showing a series of films in Crossley Park this summer as part of a fundraiser.
Jeremiah Young, the FFA chapter’s acting president, said the movies in the park series is intended to be a fun, family event that provides summer entertainment.
“In the summer in Moriarty, there’s not much to do,” he said during a City Council meeting last week.
The summer series also helps the FFA members meet their community service requirements and raise money for travel.
The movies start at sundown on Friday, June 20 with the showing of Inside Out 2.
Future movies include Moana 2, Top Gun, Mufasa and Ghostbusters. These will play every Friday through July 25. Entry is free, however people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets.
Young said the FFA tried to select both newer and older films.
“There’s not very many movie theaters around here, so a lot of people aren’t able to go and see these newer movies,” he said. “So it gives them that opportunity to come and see it and enjoy time with the community.”
He said the variety of movies will also appeal to people of all ages.
The FFA will also have concession stands available for people to buy snacks.
“You can’t watch a movie without popcorn,” Young said.
Crossley Park is at the corner of U.S. Route 66 and New Mexico Highway 41.
