Pre-movie activities will include a “Gift Basket Raffle,” new this year, which will feature more than 25 fun and family-themed baskets. There will also be a photo booth, minute-to-win-it games with prizes, crafts, face painting and tattoos, which are all planned to begin at 12:00 p.m. The movie, “The Secret Life of Pets” will start at 2:30 p.m. To build excitement and get the students involved, the foundation polled Millstone Township students on several popular family-friendly movies.
