The Appalachian Theatre of the High Country, in partnership with Allen Wealth Management, is pleased to announce a new Saturday Morning Family Film Series at the historic
King Street landmark in downtown Boone. It is being offered free of charge to the general public. Six family-friendly movie classics will be screened over the summer months on select Saturday mornings between June 18 and August 27 beginning at 10 a.m. and will be followed by a tour of the newly-renovated and restored 1938 vaudeville theatre and cinema.
Lady and the Tramp is a 1955 animated musical romance film produced by Walt Disney featuring the voice of Peggy Lee, among others. It tells the story of a female American Cocker Spaniel named Lady, who lives with a refined, upper-middle-class family, and a male stray mutt called Tramp. When
the two dogs meet, they embark on many romantic adventures and fall in love. It was the first animated movie to be filmed using the widescreen CinemaScope process, as well as the first animated film to be distributed by Disney’s Buena Vista division. A direct-to-video sequel, Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, was released in 2001. The film will be screened at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 13.

Soon after his 50th birthday, Petrow began assembling a list of “things I won’t do when I get oldâ€â€”mostly a catalog of all the things he thought his then 70-something year old parents were doing wrong. That list, which included “You won’t have to shout at me that I’m deaf,†and “I won’t blame the family dog for my incontinence,†became the basis of this rousing collection of do’s and don’ts, wills and won’ts that is equal parts hilarious, honest, and practical.
The fact is, we don’t want to age the way previous generations did. “Old people†hoard. They bore relatives—and strangers alike—with tales of their aches and pains. They insist on driving long after they’ve become a danger to others (and themselves). They eat dinner at 4pm. They swear they don’t need a cane or walker (and guess what happens next). They never, ever apologize. But there is another way...
In Stupid Things I Won’t Do When I Get Old, Petrow candidly addresses the fears, frustrations, and stereotypes that accompany aging. He offers a blueprint for the new old age, and an understanding that aging and illness are not the same. As he writes, “I meant the list to serve as a pointed reminder—to me—to make different choices when I eventually cross the threshold to ‘old.’â€
Getting older is a privilege. This essential guide reveals how to do it with grace, wisdom, humor, and hope. And without hoarding.
Foggy Pine Book Store will be in attendance to sell copies of the book.
