What is GIFF Weekend?
GIFF Weekend began in 2015 as the rain date for the Geocaching International Film Festival that was cancelled because of the thunderstorms. It seems that the worldwide events were such a success that it has been repeated this year. On the days of November 3-8 only, these family-friendly films will be shown publicly at GIFF events around the world.
The plan for the evening:
5:30 - Doors open
6:00 - 7:00 Early Show upstairs - the reel is approximately 60 minutes long
7:00 - 7:30 Pizza & Refreshments downstairs - and a prize drawing about 7:15
7:30 - 8:30 Late Show upstairs - it's the same movie reel, so if you came in late to the early show, watch what you missed
7:30 - 9:30 Social time continues downstairs - time for stories, games, puzzle-solving - and another prize drawing about 8:45
9:30 - Event ends
The event will take place at St Luke's Lutheran Church, 1010 Kinderhook St, Valatie, NY. The Film screening will be upstairs, with plenty of seating, projected on a large screen. Refreshments and Social time will be in the downstairs fellowship hall. There is a standard elevator in the building and restrooms on both floors.
Coordinates are for the South side entry door into the downstairs fellowship hall. The main doors on the West side lead directly to the upstairs.
