Thank you to all our sustaining members, sponsors and volunteers, and we couldn't do it without you.
Free movies this weekend. Playing this Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m. each day is the 2006 animated comedy adventure “Barnyard.” In this hilarious film, like all the other animals in the barn, Otis the bull likes to sing and play while the farmer is away. However, the carefree bovine must soon find the courage to be a leader when, unexpectedly, he finds himself in a position of great responsibility.
Voices provided by Kevin James, Courteney Cox and Danny Glover.
Our second movie both evenings at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 3 p.m., is the 1950 western drama “Operation Haylift.” This film, a fictionalized account of a true story, documents the 1949 winter snow storm in Northern Nevada which involves scores of cargo aircraft delivering hay to stranded animals. A state of emergency is declared and the U.S. Army and National Guard units from Nevada and neighboring states are called out.
In the winter many sheep and cattle experienced freezing temperatures and deep snow dying of starvation. Ranchers sought the U.S. Air Forces' help in dropping hay to the stranded animals. A fleet of 18 cargo aircraft arrive at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station in Fallon to fly some of the missions to deliver hay to the stranded animals.
Starring Bill Williams, Ann Rutherford and Tom Brown.
