I’m so excited that the Tumbleweeds Film Festival is only a few weeks away! Last year they held it in the spring, so I’ve been looking forward to this for the past year and a half. This year’s festival runs from Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27. As usual, they have categorized the films into the appropriate age ranges (which I love) and they are separated into 4+, 7+, 9+ and 10+.

You can buy a family pass or single tickets and the shows are all at the Rose Wagner Theatre downtown. They also have a fun activity area and workshops throughout the weekend for kids at the theatre. The Opening Night film is “Oddball” and is described as,

“The true story of an eccentric chicken farmer who, with the help of his granddaughter, trains his mischievous dog to protect a wild penguin sanctuary from fox attacks and in the process reunites his family and saves their seaside town.”

Who could resist watching that?!
