Join us to celebrate the Class of 2034 and all our friends at Ready Set Go Kindergarten and Friends at the Cumberland Drive-In Theatre! We’ll watch Wild Kratts: Cats and Dogs as well as get some great tips to start the school year off right. While supplies last, children also receive a fun giveaway bag. This is a free, family event, but a ticket is required to secure your parking spot.
