Disney’s ‘Bears’ movie night

MERCER, PA.

Munnell Run Farm, 753 Greenville Road, will host a movie night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday.

The Farm will play Disney Nature’s “Bears” film; the movie was postponed due to the weather in February. “Bears” follows a mother grizzly bear and her cubs on wilderness adventures. Popcorn and drinks will be provided.

The event is free, but registration is required by calling 724-662-2242. The farm will accept donations during the event, and all proceeds will benefit youth environmental-education programs.
