Carmike Thursdays

Parents, looking for something to do with the kids over the summer. Take advantage of seeing a kid movie on the big screen at Carmike Cinema's on Thursdays (times are on the door). Call for times, but it is only $2 per person. The movies are all previously shown kid flicks.

If looking for a good new kid movie to see this summer, take advantage of the new movie BRAVE! It is a great movie. It has everything a kid would want. An entertaining story, cast of characters, music, action, and laughs. It's playing in 2D and 3D at Carmike and other area theaters.

Fletcher Park

Fletcher Park is a great place to play soccer, baseball, have a family gathering, birthday party, run, or walk. It is extremely family friendly, peaceful, and offers scenic trails unmatchable to other area parks. For anyone, especially families, looking to take an evening or morning walk or adventure, this is the perfect park to visit.

Fletcher Park is located off of Hendersonville Road across from the Family Dollar near Blue Sky Cafe. It is, hands down,  the best park for a run or walk. It is also known for holding many events throughout the year, including the Concert in the Park Series. It is also known for it's soccer fields and many sporting events, as well as the upcoming Relay for Life walk on July 20th.

Even so, whether going to the park for an event or to play, one thing that is a must is a walk, run, or bike ride. Take the Cane Creek Path to the Greenway Extension and find yourself in fields of corn. Turn a corner to walk beside Cane Creek, through a forest of beautiful plant life, to the turn around point near train tracks. Even though one is near a roadway, it feels as if the area is totally secluded. However, there is a large running/biking/walking trail around the playground, baseball, and soccer areas that is 1.27 miles. Perfect for keeping track of distance run.

Overall, it is a great area, and after walking or running or just being active, try eating a bite at Kosta's Kitchen (breakfast highly recommended) or Blue Sky Cafe.
