This Week at The Dixie
Mary Poppins Movie & Mountain Dulcimer Concert
HUNTINGDON – The Musical Film Festival at The Dixie (Sponsored
by CB&T Financial) will kick off on Thursday, August 21 at 7:00
p.m. with MARY POPPINS (starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van
Dyke). You don’t want to miss this favorite on the big screen at
The Dixie! About the movie: from the moment Mary Poppins (Julie
Andrews) floats into the Banks’ household, things are never the
same. The children, Jane and Michael, are swept into magical
romps across the English countryside, tea parties on the
ceiling, and madcap dances over the rooftops of London. Tickets
for MARY POPPINS are $5/person at door; no advance tickets
available.

Brockinton take the stage for a dulcimer music celebration on

among the most in-demand dulcimer performers and clinicians
across the country. Don’t miss this night of great
entertainment! Tickets for the Mountain Dulcimer Concert are
