Join us on Friday, February 10th for Marley & Me, the Puppy Years from 7:00pm-8:30pm. Marley, the "world's worst dog" is back in a story about his puppy days. When his owners go away for a while, Marley has a summer adventure at Grandpa's house with his owner's nephew Bodie. Desperate to have a dog of his own, Bodie knows that he must show his mother that he can be responsible and care for Marley while she is away. Bodie decides to enter Marley, along with a couple of other neighborhood puppies, in a dog show. With a little help from Grandpa and a couple of new friends, Bodie is able to teach the dogs all the tricks of agility they'll need to know. But, the competition is fierce, and one opponent will stop at nothing to win.
