She picked a muscle car flame to be painted on her face before Movie in the Park began at Waterside Place April 12.
The movie for the night?
"Cars."
Despite a windy night, families flocked to the monthly event alongside Kingfisher Lake.
Grace Church hosts the event on the second Friday of every month at Waterside Park and always brings a treat for the crowd.
On April 12, it was cotton candy, going to the first 300 patrons for free.
A line of inflatables, including Skeeball, T-ball and a bounce castle, tired the kids out before “Cars” played.
The movie screen was inflatable, standing 30 feet high, far larger than the TV 2-year-old Veda Dixon has at home.
Veda said it was her first movie night. She is a big Lightning McQueen fan, and she was not alone.
The grass was thick with blankets and lawn chairs full of McQueen and Mater fans.
The next Movie in the Park is scheduled for May 10.
