The audience was waiting with houselights dimmed for Sunday afternoon's free Holiday Kids' Matinee at the Hotel Pattee in Perry. Children received play money to "buy" movie tickets and refreshments as in a real theater.
The Hotel Pattee held its second annual Holiday Kids Movie Matinee Sunday afternoon, and local children aged 10 and younger enjoyed a free screening of a surprise holiday feature.
The 75-minute event was limited to 75 youngsters, who received play money to use to buy a ticket to the show and refreshments, such as popcorn and candy.
