UH Employee Activity Team Sponsoring Free Outdoor Movie!

That's right, grab your popcorn, blanket, and your family. It's time for another United Helpers Employee Activity Team Movie Night! Trolls: World Tour will be shown at 7:15 pm on Friday, October 2nd at the Eleanor Burke Pavilion next to UH Independent Senior Living and the United Helpers Rehabilitation and Senior Care located at 205 State Street in Canton. 

 

Poppy and Branch discover that there are six different troll tribes scattered over six different lands. Each tribe is also devoted to six different kinds of music -- funk, country, techno, classical, pop and rock. When rockers Queen Barb and King Thrash set out to destroy the other music, Poppy and Branch embark on a daring mission to unite the trolls and save the diverse melodies from becoming extinct.

 

We're sorry, due to physical constraints and the current guidelines for social gathering, this event is only open to UH employees and their family members. In the event of rain, the movie will be shown on Saturday, October 3rd, same time.
