Community members relax in the Southwest Pool at a Flick N Float event last year where the movie Nanny McPhee was shown. The next event is scheduled for Friday. People can bring their favorite rafts or floats and enjoy the movie.
Here are two cool ways to beat the heat in Largo this weekend: a musical production in the air-conditioned comfort of a theater or the first Flick N Float of the season.
On Friday night, plop yourself down in the Largo Cultural Center, 105 Central Park Drive, Largo, to watch High School Musical 2 performed by the city's Theater Camp. Kids, ages 12 through 18, portray Troy, Gabriella and the gang from East High School in a 7 p.m. show. There will also be an 11 a.m. matinee on Saturday.
If you'd rather take a dip Friday night, venture over to the Flick N Float at Southwest Pool, 13120 Vonn Road, Largo.
The movie, Mouse Hunt, begins at dusk, but the pool opens at 7:30 p.m. with floats provided. Hot dogs will be handed out for free and other concessions will be available for purchase.
New this year will be Relaxation Hour for adults from 6 to 7 p.m.
Along with adult-only time, there will be soothing music with message therapists providing free massages. Cost: $4 with card; $5 without card. Child care for kids ages 3 and older will be available next door at Southwest Recreation Center for $3.
Other Flick N Float nights and movies planned are July 10, Kung Fu Panda; July 17, How the Grinch Stole Christmas; July 24, Matilda; and July 31, Madagascar 2.
