Join us for a wildly festive screening of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the holiday classic that proves no good deed—or string of lights—goes unpunished. But the movie is just the beginning…Costume Contest – Break out your best Cousin Eddie bathrobe, Clark’s sweater vest, or Aunt Bethany flair. Prizes for the most hilariously on-theme outfits!
Griswold Games – Think you can survive a squirrel attack, light up a ball of twinkle lights, or empty the ... well, you know. These games aren't for the faint of heart (raffle drawing at intermission for two competitors).
Giveaways & Surprises – Will you be lucky enough to get a Jelly of the Month Club membership? Or a giant bag of Ol' Roy Dog Food? Who knows what prizes await!
Snacks & Shenanigans – Grab some popcorn, an adult beverage, settle in, and prepare for pure, chaotic holiday joy.
Whether you're here for the laughs or just hoping someone lights a cigar near the storm drain, you won't want to miss this night of dysfunction and holiday magic.
