Grow Greater Greenfield (G3) will host a community movie night on Saturday at Mitchell Park, where the organization will show “The Sandlot.”
G3 member Merleen VanDyke said the movie will be watched through an inflatable screen that will be put up in the area closest to the concession stand at the park. Admission to the movie is free, but that the concession stand will be open with items like popcorn, water and snacks for sale.
The movie would start at dark, which VanDyke said will be around 9:30 p.m. She stressed the organization might show a cartoon or something for the first half-hour to allow people to show up and find a spot.

This year’s Memorial Day commemoration in Greenfield will once again not quite look like past years, but there will be an event to honor those who have given their lives in the preservation of freedom.
At Tuesday’s council meeting, Greenfield City Manager Todd Wilkin said that this year’s recognition will begin at 10 a.m. Monday, May 31 downtown. After recognition is performed downtown, those observing are welcome to go on to the Greenfield Cemetery where the commemoration will continue. Wilkin said he hopes there are a few singers to volunteer to sing at the cemetery and a speech to recognize “the heroes who gave up their life for the call of freedom.”
