Renting A Big Screen

By Clemencia Winterberg


We live in a neighborhood that has a fun contest each year to find out which family is able to put together the best event for the smallest amount of money. This is a good way to bring families closer together. Many people have tried block parties and potluck dinners.

You might have never had an outdoor movie before, but in the summer, it's always a good time. I really wanted to come up with something different, and this year I found exactly what I was looking for, an event that was unique and different.

The answer is simple. We planned an outdoor movie night! This experience was great and is able to you believe this outdoor event took place in Syracuse, New York. The idea that I came up with was an outdoor movie night, which isn't always the easiest thing to pull off in this part of the country.

I live in Syracuse, NY. So the darkness of the outside was great for an outdoor movie. Any outdoor event is usually a hit in these parts, and we have learned to make the most of those all too rare summer evenings.

I found a film suitable for families - that was easy - and I used a rented projector to play it on a bed sheet that I hung over the washing line. You is able to easily have an exciting neighborhood party with the help of a movie projector.

All that I had to do was connect the projector to my laptop computer, then with one click, the movie started. You don't have to be a technical wizard to use this equipment. I would certainly do this again, as it seemed to be such a hit, although I might take it a step further and consider renting a big screen.

My children really loved the outdoor movie night that we created. They keep asking for us to do it again. Projecting the movie on a wall will make it seem like we are really at the movies, so I am all for doing it again soon.
