Plans Saturday night include the arrival, starting at 6 p.m., of dignitaries - a list that includes Chillicothe Mayor Troy Childers and the mayors of Lacon and Henry - who will be let out of shiny new cars at the curb and onto a red carpet. Paparazzi will be snapping their photos and microphones of interviewers will be thrust in their faces.Restored and now operated by the Chillicothe Optimist Club, they will use the profits to fund youth programs in the community.
The opening night movies are "Ironman 2" with Robert Downey Jr. and "The Back-up Plan" with Jennifer Lopez. The movies will begin at 7 p.m.
