2024 MOVIES IN THE PARK VOTING
For the first time in many years, we are bringing back voting to decide which movies we will show this summer as part of our movies in the park series in Moore Park that we do each summer. This summer, we will be showing two movies. One on Friday, July 19th, and one on Friday, August 23rd. We have decided to show two throwback movies this summer. One will be an animated film, and one will be a live-action film.
The choices for each movie night are below. To vote, please comment on this post with what your choices are. Parents feel free to also ask your kids what their vote is, as we would love to have them be active voters as well. The voting will continue from now through Thursday, June 13th. On Friday, June 14th, we will announce the winning movies. Please note that for the live-action throwback movie, we have over recent years shown quite a bit of live-action throwbacks. So, if you're wondering why a certain classic isn't a part of the vote, that may be the reason why. If you have any questions about our movies in the park series, or if you would consider being one of our sponsors, please text/call Andrew at 716-753-6842.

JOB SERVICE
Westfield residents needing help with cleanup of their yards and other odd jobs are asked to call the Westfield Recreation Department at 716-753-6842 (Andrew) and we will assist in arranging a local teen to help. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to find a worker, but we will do our best! We serve as a third party to set up the person who needs the work done with someone who can do it. We do not have any input on the payment process.
We are still in need of new teens for the job service. Most jobs are typically raking leaves, mowing grass, other yardwork, snow shoveling, etc. If interested, please call the Westfield Recreation Department at 716-753-6842 (Andrew).
