Past event
Aug 27, 2023, 2 to 5 PM

This Sunday, August 27 at 2 p.m. the Pierce Hall Community Center will host a matinee screening of "The Farm Boy" a film set in Vermont in 1944 by writer, director and cinematographer George Woodard of Waterbury Center and produced by Joan Brace O'Neal.

The two and a half hour black and white film, is loosely based on the real-life story of the director's parents. It is a story about trust, integrity, and standing behind your word and about a time when war took young men away from their homes and returned them as heroes. It is summarized by Woodard as "a love story with action and adventure" where a young Vermont farm boy falls in love and marries. He then enters World War II where he fights in the Ardennes in Belgium at the Battle of the Bulge. Following the showing, the director and producer will be available to answer questions.

Admission is $10 (cash or check only). Light refreshments will be on sale. For further information visit HangingMudflapProductions.com.
