Get started on yard sale shopping now, before the Longest Yard Sale in the World begins! Located at the Price Right Convenience Store at 2900 Taft Hwy., the Highway to Haiti Yard Sale will benefit the St. Antoine School, a parish mission in Haiti. Please plan to shop for treasures at this great sale under the big tent. The sale starts Monday, July 25, and will run during the Highway 127 World's Longest Yard Sale, ending August 7.

More than 300 families from St. Augustine's Catholic Church will be donating wonderful items, from antiques, curios, games, toys, furniture, books and other assorted finds.

St. Antoine's School was founded by Signal native Jack Davidson with the support of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church. He heads the American Haitian Foundation, which underwrites the school where over 1,500 children, from kindergarten through the 13th grade (schools in Haiti have 13 grades), are fed and educated.

The sale accepts cash or checks (with a driver's license and a photo ID).

American Haitian Foundation Board member Betty Miles encourages everyone to donate and then shop at the Highway to Haiti Yard Sale to support the St. Antoine School, which gives hope to so many who need a hand up in Haiti.

First Things First's Movies in the Park returns to Coolidge Park this month. Each Saturday in July, beginning July 9, a family-friendly box office hit movie will be projected on a giant movie screen in the park.

First Things First is an award-winning, nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening families in Hamilton County through education, collaboration and mobilization. First Things First encourages families to pack up chairs, blankets and picnic baskets and gather for some quality time while watching this year’s featured movies.

"First Things First's mission is to strengthen the families of our communities," said Julie Baumgardner of First Things First. "Movies in the Park is a great opportunity for families to spend time together and create memories that will last a lifetime."

Can you guess the titles of the movies First Things First is showing this summer? Here are some hints:
  • July 9 – Funny little yellow creatures are recruited by a super-villain who, alongside her inventor husband, hatch a plot to take over the world.
  • July 16 – A police officer rabbit and wily fox set out to solve a mysterious case in a bustling animal metropolis.
  • July 23 – The galaxy faces a new threat from the dark side, but a young duo joins forces to defeat evil and restore order in the universe.
  • July 30 – A hockey-loving 11-year-old girl’s world turns upside-down when she and her parents move to San Francisco. Her emotions try to guide her through this life-changing event.

"Movies in the Park is one of our favorite events," Baumgardner said. "We encourage families to join us and enjoy some quality time together."

All movies are free to the public. Movies will start each week at sundown (just after 9 p.m.). Concessions will be available for purchase on-site. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

Movies in the Park is sponsored by Comcast, Sunny 92.3, Hamico, Coker Tire, Belhaven University, The Chattanooga Times Free Press, City of Chattanooga, Family Concessions LLC and Lifeguard Ambulance Service.

Everyone's been waiting to see who will bring the wonderful characters of The Signal Mountain Playhouse's "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" to life this July. Show director Allan Leford and choreographer David Wood are very excited about the cast, as is the Playhouse board, orchestra conductor Sandy Morris and accompanist Michael Huseman.

Tim Forsythe will play Caractacus Potts; Shandra Burnett will play Truly Scrumptious; Paul Hendricks will play Grandpa Potts; Colette Smith will play Jemima Potts; Zachery Huseman will play Jeremy Potts; Lee Abelson will play Lord Scrumptious; Bob Roza will play the Child Catcher; and Kristin Sharp will play the Vulgarian Diva. These are all seasoned veterans of the Playhouse and other local stages. Also, there is a world of other talented friends and neighbors who will play the other parts in this character-rich musical, which was adapted from the story by Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond.

The show will take place at the Playhouse Amphitheater on the corner of Rolling Way and James Boulevard on July 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30 at 8 pm. The box office opens at 6 p.m. for those who wish to place lawn chairs early. Tickets are sold on evenings of performances only (no advanced sales) and are $5 for children and $15 for adults. Please bring cash or checks only.

Parking is not permitted on Rolling Way because this street is used by emergency vehicles when going out on calls. However, patrons with handicaps may remove the orange cones on Rolling Way and drive into the Playhouse grounds for parking. Please replace the orange cones after you drive through.

Concessions are for sale on site, and there will be portable toilets available as well.
For more information, go to the Playhouse website, smph.org, the Signal Mountain Playhouse Facebook page, or call Anne Rittenberry at (423) 886-5243.
