ELECTION  DAY SPECIAL!
TUESDAY, NOV. 6TH
MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
Mr Smith

Spend election day with the original Washington outsider!
James Stewart at his iconic best playing  Mr. Smith, an idealistic country boy who goes to Washington as a short-term senator. Disillusionment sets in slowly as he realizes the political games being played in the nation's Capitol. Watch as he fights to expose the corruption to the public.

Main Street Landing and United Way of Chittenden County are celebrating the one year anniversary of their partnership in the November offerings of the popular weekly movie series which brings great classic cinema to the Burlington area, while promoting the work of local nonprofits. The free series was launched by Main Street Landing last year as a way to provide community awareness and fundraising platform for nonprofits while offering the Burlington community free classic films presented on the big screen.

Thank you Melinda Moulton, Mariah Riggs and Main Street Landing for creating this fabulous community endeavor!
