There were plenty of smiles on the faces of about 200 persons Saturday morning at the Downtown Arbor by the Lemoore Stadium Cinemas. Most of the youngsters and their parents were the guests of the Stadium Cinemas and the Kings Lions Club who held their annual canned food drive in anticipation of Christmas.
The event was called “Movies with Santa” and it was a packed theater of kids and parents that watched the new “Peanuts” movie complete with popcorn. Following the movie, the Lions then held a drawing in the arbor for a whole bunch of prizes.
Families were asked to bring a can or several cans of food to the event, which will be donated by the Kings Lions. Other organizations donated items as well, including Lemoore’s Best Buy Market, which donated several cases of canned goods to the drive.
