SUMMARY:Creston Valley Blossom Fest – Kickoff Movie: The Orchard
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a free movie screening to kick off the 85th annual Creston Valley Blossom Festival. This year’s festival theme is “apple blossoms.” \nWe will be screening the locally-made suspense thriller The Orchard\, starring Creston talent Jack Wright and Kate Saby (formerly Webb). \n“A young man with a troubled past inherits his grandfather’s orchard. After a pruning accident\, his affinity for the painkillers takes him back into drug abuse — and what appears to be the orchard’s dark past.” \nAnd stick around after the movie for a Q&A with some of the local folks who were involved in creating it. \nThis film is unrated\, but does contain adult themes\, some violence\, and depictions of substance use. \nOur movie screenings are always free to attend and we always have free popcorn!
