Icon invites you to a free movie on Friday
If “It’s A Wonderful Life” is one of your all-time favorite Christmas movies, you are in luck.
For the third holiday season, Bluffton Icon will sponsor two free showings of the 1946 classic featuring the all-star cast of James Stewart, Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore on Friday, Nov. 29, at the Shannon Theatre, Bluffton.
The free showings are at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and are kickoffs to this year’s Blaze of Lights event.
“It’s one of our favorite holiday movies and a great one for the entire family. We are happy to provide free showings on Thanksgiving weekend,” said Fred Steiner. “It one way we can say ‘thank you’ to all the Icon viewers for your continued support of our community news website.
