Join Me for an Unforgettable Trip to A Week in Italy: Venice, Florence and Rome

Oscar Watch: FJORD at the Drexel Theatre!

Join us as we get together to see the Palme d’Or winner from this year’s Cannes Film Festival, FJORD! This dramatic-legal-thriller-drama is based on a true story of a Romanian-Norwegian couple facing scrutiny after moving to the wife's remote Norwegian hometown. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film is inspired by true events and follows a Romanian-Norwegian conservative couple who faced scrutiny after moving to the wife's progressive remote Norwegian hometown. The film is written/directed by Cristian Mungiu and stars Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value, The Worst Person in the World). BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival where it received a 12-minute standing ovation and went on to win the Palme d'Or (top prize) along with four other awards! The film is earning a stellar 93% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “riveting,” “superbly well-acted” and “knotty moral dilemma” that "refuses to provide easy answers.” Others call it a quiet film with a lot to say that’s both "richly compelling” and “endlessly though-provoking!” It was selected as the Romanian entry for the Best International Feature Film (and is currently the front-runner) for next year’s Academy Awards. FANTASTIC FEATURETTE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3c27MmOyxg TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gdRZZVoinM PLAN: We’ll plan for a 4:00pm-ish showing and will meet in the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater. Just let them know you're with the group for admission and concession discounts ($3 sm popcorn, $3 sm soda). A longer movie and we've got big dinner/movie events the week before/after, so we'll plan to make this one a movie only event. Exact showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Should be a good one, Dan

Open Barn Day in October at Sunrise Sanctuary!

Open Barn Days are group tours where we open the Sanctuary to the public, allowing you to visit and get to know the animals on a personal level. Admission prices are Adult (18+) Admission $10, Youth (4-17) Admission $5, and Children 3 and under are free. All funds raised go directly toward caring for the approximately 140 precious souls that call Sunrise home. We are a volunteer run vegan Sanctuary and the funds raised are crucial to providing vet care, feed, and housing. We do limit attendance at these events to help ensure a safe and enjoyable interaction with the animal family. Because of this, we do require that tickets be purchased in advance.
