See a “Movie on the Beach” This Friday at Callaway Gardens®

This Friday night Callaway Gardens’® Robin Lake Beach becomes an outdoor cinema with a Movie on the Beach.

Robin Lake’s sandy beach will be the seating and the stars the backdrop for evening’s viewing of the award-winning movie Blind Side. Projected onto an inflatable, 35-foot wide screen, the movie will be shown with a digital projection system with surround sound.

Prior to show time, guests can enjoy the 8 p.m. FSU Flying High Circus’s Friday night special show Spectacular. Showtime will immediately follow at dusk (generally around 9:15 p.m.). Guests may want to bring a blanket or lawn chair. The Beach Pavilion will be open for snacks and beverages prior to the movie.

FREE Friday Night of Fun and Fireworks THIS Friday 7/9/2010‏ at Callaway Gardens

Callaway Gardens would like to invite everyone for a FREE Friday Night of Fun and Fireworks this Friday, July 9, 2010.

After a great day of fun, sun, circus performances and a concert on July 4th, the fireworks finale was not up to Callaway Gardens’ standards. Callaway Gardens has partnered with East Coast Pyrotechnics, Inc. for more than 15 years to provide memorable firework displays. This year a failed electrical system kept some of the fireworks from launching.

Callaway Gardens and East Coast Pyrotechnics, Inc. are inviting everyone for a FREE Friday Night of Fun and Fireworks this Friday, July 9. The beach gate on U. S. Hwy. 27 will open for free admission at 5 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy music and fun on Robin Lake Beach; watch the 7:50 p.m. performance of Florida State University Flying High Circus (10 minutes earlier than normal); and take in fireworks at approximately 9:30 p.m.

Callaway Gardens®, is in Pine Mountain, Ga., 60 minutes southwest of Atlanta and 30 minutes north of Columbus. For more information, call 1-800-CALLAWAY (225-5292) or visit www.callawaygardens.com.
