After a day of downtown fun with dad, families can stick around the Myriad Botanical Gardens for a FREE outdoor concert and movie.

The OKC Arts Council will host its third Twilight Summer Concert of 2009 with a performance by local acoustic/folk musician Michael Fracasso. The concert begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Myriad Gardens’ Activity Plaza.

Afterwards, families can stick around for the Myriad Gardens Foundation’s inaugural “Screen on the Green” outdoor movie at 9:00 p.m. Sunday’s movie is the classic musical “Singin’ In the Rain’ “ starring Gene Kelly.

p.s. As a reminder, if you come to the Gardens for either the concert or movie, please remember that no pets or alcohol are allowed. Thank you.

Concert and a movie, hmmm, wonder if the lovely has already planned something else.

NCP Fathers can also participate in a "FatherLESS Day" Stand on Sunday, June 21...

On Sunday, June 21, 2009, “Father’s Day,” fathers from the “Oklahoma Family Rights Association” will be gathering together in front of Newchurch, located at 9201 N. Rockwell in NW OKC, to “Stand” for their child(ren) whom these fathers are unable to share this day with.

The purpose of this event is to bring attention to the fact that many fathers that have been through the Family Court System are granted very little shared parenting time and they are demanding equal custody and equal time with their children.

We also want to make the general public aware of the fact that too often the Oklahoma Department of Human Services intrudes into far too many families because of distorted and false allegations filed by a custodial parent.

Basically, all we will be doing is “Standing” along the street in front of NewChurch with a few signs, i.e. “Children Need Both Parents” and “Can You Hug Your Child Today?”

Just want to remind everyone of the FREE goings-on for dads tomorrow in downtown OKC.

Dads get FREE admission with paid family member to:

OKC Museum of Art
OKC National Memorial & Museum
Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory at Myriad Botanical Gardens


Also at the Myriad Gardens' Activity Plaza (adjacent to Water Stage)

FREE Sunday Twilight Concert at 7:00 p.m. - Michael Fracassa
