Out There: A National Parks Story
Thurs., Sept. 3 at 7 pm
The Colonial Theatre, Phoenixville
Valley Forge Park Alliance is proud to partner with The Colonial Theatre in presenting filmmaker Brendan Hall’s Out There: A National Parks Story.
Out There: A National Parks Story follows a filmmaker and his childhood friend on a 10,000-mile road trip through America’s national parks. What begins as a search for awe-inspiring landscapes evolves into a deeper journey that uncovers the human stories embedded in these wild places.
Brendan Hall will be conduct a post-screening Q&A.
Paws Of Honor: A Veterans’ Day Event
Wed., Nov. 4 at 7 pm, Penn State Great Valley, Malvern
Valley Forge Park Alliance commemorates Veterans’ Day with a special event honoring human and K9 veterans who have served our country.
We are honored to host:
Timothy Fleming, a USMC Special Ops veteran who is now executive director of Paws Of Honor, a nonprofit that provides critical support for retired military and first responder K9s, many of whom suffer from service-related injuries and trauma. These dogs protected lives without hesitation, strengthened national security, and kept our communities safe. They deserve dignity, care, and comfort in retirement.
Ben Ridings, curator of the Emlen Physick Estate in Cape May and author of the compelling historical book War Dogs in WWII.
Thank you to Penn State Great Valley for hosting this very special evening.
