It\u2019s still a few months before local families can\nenjoy box office hits under the twilight of summer skies, but Aurora\u2019s Movies\nin the Park series is getting a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Saturday, April 27, at the Stronach Aurora\nRecreation Complex, the Town will host a free screening of Mary Poppins Returns\nat Movies in the SARC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Played by Emily Blunt, viewers catch up with Mary\nPoppins as she returns to Cherry Tree Lane and the next generation of Banks\nchildren for some new adventures accompanied by Jack the Chimney Sweep, as\nportrayed by Lin-Manuel Miranda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free screening gets underway at 6 p.m., but doors\nwill open early at 4 p.m. for a number of Mary Poppins-themed crafts and\nactivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are super, super excited to have a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious experience\nat the first movie for the Movies in the Park series and we have tried to do\neverything Practically Perfect as Mary Poppins would have tried to do,\u201d says\nShelley Ware, Special Events Coordinator for the Town of Aurora. \u201cWith this\nevent, not only do we have the dynamic sensational box office hit Mary Poppins\nReturns we\u2019ll be showing, we\u2019re also going to be raffling off free Town of\nAurora Summer Camps this summer. Not everyone knows, but the Town of Aurora\ncamps have been voted as number one camps in York Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs well, families will actually be able\nto meet some of the camp counsellors. They will be the ones supervising the\nactivities offered before the movie, so it is a great way, as a parent, to ask\nall the questions you have about the summer camps, what you can expect, what\nyour child will expect. There are more than 60 different camps offered this\nsummer. It is quite impressive the lineup that is offered, so this is a great,\nfun way to showcase what our summer camp program has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to crafts and the sneak peek\nat summer camp opportunities, the Movies in the SARC program will feature a\nmusical performance from Marquee Theatrical Productions and a chance to meet a\nMary Poppins tribute who will be coming complete with her \u201ctrinket trunk\u201d and\nface painting kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf kids prove they know their manners\nwell, they get to go into our trinket trunk to actually get a prize out of it,\u201d\nsays Ms. Ware, noting it\u2019s probably not a good idea for movie-goers to leave\ntheir mouths hanging open like codfish. \u201cManners, Manners, Manners will be the\ntheme for the evening and kids will have a fun way of learning them. We\u2019re\nstriving to do everything in a way that Mary Poppins would approve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs well, STEM Minds will be on site, each\nwith an interactive, really cool activity that kids can have a hands-on\nexperience with and give them a taste on what our summer camp programs (like\nEngineering for Kids) will offer this year. It is going to be super, super\nfun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Poppins Returns forms the centrepiece\nof Movies at the SARC next Saturday, April 27. Doors open at 4 p.m. with a showtime\nset at 6 p.m. Admission, crafts and activities are all free of charge. The\npopular Movies in the Park series for 2019 is set to take place August 15,\nAugust 22, and August 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
