‘E.T.’ will be the feature this Saturday night, July 24, when the Movies in the Park series debuts on the Field of Dreams at the Palisades Recreation Center, 861 Alma Real. The free series, presented by the Palisades Chamber of Commerce, will continue with ‘Grease’ on July 31, ‘Indiana Jones’ on August 7 and ‘The Wizard of Oz’ on August 14. Movies on the 15-by-20 foot screen will start at dusk, with seating on the grass beginning at 7 p.m. Bring your own picnic and blankets, but please no chairs with stick legs. And, no alcohol. Snacks and drinks will be sold by the Boy Scouts. A 4-speaker sound system will allow the sound to be evenly distributed. ‘By conducting several preliminary sound tests we are trying to be very sensitive to the desire of neighbors that they not be disturbed,’ says David Williams, Chamber president. The major sponsor is Wachovia Securities. Other sponsors are Friends of Film, American Legion Post 283 and the Palisades Junior Women’s Club. Helping to make the evening safe will be Palisades Patrol. Keeping the park clean will be Chrysalis. Movies in the Park committee members include David Williams, Sandy Derby, Roberta Donohue, Sandy Eddy, Andy Frew, Brad Lusk, Roy Robbins, Bob Sharka, John Wirth and Bob and Marika Tur.
