If you haven't been inside the old Apalachicola High School Gymnasium in a while, then you need to do so, because things have dramatically changed. Apalachicola city officials in collaboration with Franklin's Promise Coalition and Apalachee Center have reoriented the facility to serve as a dedicated center for the youth of Apalachicola and surrounding area.
The center opened its doors on Wednesday, June 1, and inaugurated the advent on Friday, June 3, with the beginning of Friday Movie Nights, which featured the showing of the Incredibles and the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Tonight’s movie will start at 8:30PM and feature the 2003 release of Daddy Day Care starring Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Steve Zahn and Regina King. The movie will be shown inside the gym on a large inflatable screen featuring theater sounding audio.
There will also be concessions available, operated by the Kids United Together (K.U.T.) Youth Advisory Board to raise money for programs.
The Youth Center’s hours of operation are Wednesday and Thursday, 6:00PM to 9:00PM, Friday 6:00PM to 11:00PM and Saturday 3:00PM to 11:00PM and starting the week of June 13, the facility will be open on Monday’s and Tuesday’s as well.
