Join us on Friday, June 30th at 8:30 p.m. for a special showing of the LEGO Batman Movie in partnership with the Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum. Children are invited to decorate their toy cars, build toy cars out of LEGOs, or even create toy cars to sit in and pretend they are headed to a night at the drive-in. This event commemorates the Grayslake Family Outdoor Theater, the community’s original drive-in, which was built in 1948 and operated until 1998. Be sure to decorate and create your toy cars at home and arrive by 7:30 pm to enter our contests for chances to win special prizes coordinating with our movie theme! The grand prize is a family membership at the Esper Petersen Family Aquatic Center. Contest categories include: • Best original LEGO car • Best decorated toy car • Best home-built toy car
