Upcoming Events

ET: A Second Chance to Find Home

It is that time of year again! Columbia Second Chance is hosting their annual Movie Night at the historic Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts on Saturday, May 8th. Presented by South Paw Acres and Atkins, this year all aliens and their friends are welcome for a showing of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

The fun starts at 5:30 p.m. with music from The Dorians, "out of this world" food, and a huge selection of silent auction items including a hot-air balloon ride, passes to Bonkers, golf, restaurants, spas, sporting events, bikes, hotel getaways and much, much more.

Bring your camera to capture the historic lobby decorated with a scene from the movie as well as the many little (and not so little) Columbians dressed as their favorite aliens. At 7:00, relax and watch the movie on the big screen. Support Columbia Second Chance to help animals with "ET: A SECOND CHANCE TO FIND HOME".

Seventh Annual Paws in the Park

Mark your calendars now for Paws in the Park, coming Saturday, September 25th, 2010 at Stephens Park! (See pictures from last year's fun!)
