Movies in the Pumpkin Patch

SCHUYLERVILLE — The Salvation Army and The Washington County Fairgrounds are hosting movies in the Pumpkin Patch: three nights of drive-up family fun movies projected onto four of the world’s largest inflatable movie screens. All the fun will take place at the Washington County Fairgrounds parking area located at 392 Old Schuylerville Rd., Greenwich.

The movies will begin Columbus Day weekend starting at 7 p.m. each night. The fairground gates will open at 4:30 for interested parties. The showings include Jurassic Park on Friday, Oct. 9, Hotel Transylvania on Saturday, Oct. 10 and Ghostbusters on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Tickets are $20 per vehicle for general admission. Premium vehicle parking passes for first two rows from the screen along with discounts for multiple night parking passes are available at app.mobilecause.com/e/HlEh2A?vid=bc536 or on the Facebook page of The Salvation Army of Glens Falls or the Washington County Fair Grounds 

Face masks will be required by all participants when not in vehicle or assigned vehicle space. The fairground parking area contains acres of open space and we have four enormous screens to show movies to allow ample room for safe distancing. 

Vehicles will be parked more than six-feet from each other in each row, while each row separated by more than 14 feet. Movie-goers will be allowed the space to the driver’s side of their vehicle only for outdoor viewing. Every other row will be staggered so each vehicle will have unobstructed view of screen. 

The event is the first one of its kind organized by the Salvation Army’s newly formed Doing the Most Good Events team.  Event sponsors have the unique opportunity to partner with the Salvation Army to bring the community together in an event designed to offer a message of hope and unity during an unprecedented time.
