Milford 'Drive-in' event features 'The Blind Side'

Fresh off the success of its community picnic and movie, Milford Township Parks and Recreation will be presenting its free “Movie Night at the Drive-In” on Saturday, Oct. 13 with the movie starting at 7 p.m. or dusk.

The featured movie will be “The Blind Side” starring Sandra Bullock, and will be shown at the old Farmer Jack parking lot at General Motors and Milford roads, behind Wendy’s.

Popcorn, beverages and snacks will be sold at the movie.

“The Blind Side” is based on the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless teenager who is taken in by a well-to-do family and goes on to be a standout high school football player, an All-American in college and a first-round NFL draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens.

Bullock won an Academy Award for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy, and the movie also stars country singer Tim McGraw.

On Sept. 29, Milford Parks and Recreation also held a free community picnic and movie in Central Park with the hit animated movie “Puss In Boots” shown at dusk.

The radio station on which “The Blind Side” movie’s sound will be broadcasted will be announced to patrons at the event.
