Enjoy award-winning wines from Ancient Peaks, beer from Stella Artois and sodas from Sprecher's, as you nibble on great food from Pacific Harvest Catering and Mama's Meatballs.
Then settle in with blankets and heaters in the fabulous 'Asistencia' and enjoy Harold Lloyd in the hilarious silent short, The Eastern Westerner hosted by his granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd. Robert Carradine will then introduce the 1939 John Ford classic, Stagecoach, starring his father John Carradine and the Duke. Bring a blanket and get your tickets early because this event sold out last year!

Stage Coach (1939)
Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, Stagecoach is a timeless classic, starring a stellar cast that included John Wayne, John Carradine, Thomas Mitchell, Claire Trevor and Andy Devine. It is also famous for one of the most harrowing stunts ever performed in a film by legendary cowboy stuntman, Yakima Canutt. Stagecoach tells the tale of a stagecoach under fire from Geronimo, while its nervous driver (Devine) struggles to deliver an odd mix of nine passengers to its destination. Nominated for five Oscars and winner of two in 1940.
Western drama. USA. 96 min.
