Making Fall Break plans? On Monday evening, October 12, we're having our first School's Out Movie Night! Since there's no school the next day for Jackson County Schools, let's have a fun evening at the pool and enjoy a family friendly movie.
Admission is limited to the first 50 people due to the number of floats we have. You may also bring your own float or sit on the pool deck. You can bring and enjoy snacks and drinks at the pool deck tables or on the outside patio, but please don't eat or drink while in the pool. Once the movie begins, all attendees must remain in their floats and quiet for the duration of the movie. People swimming outside their floats will be asked to leave. Movie Night is included with your day pass or membership.
