The first showing will be held on Saturday, March 19, at Paragon Village 12, 51 Towne Centre Blvd. in Fredericksburg. The festival begins at 8 a.m with a nonprofit fair, followed by films from 9 a.m. – 12 noon.

The second showing will be on April 3 at Germanna Community College Daniel Technology Center, 18121 Technology Dr. in Culpeper. Doors open at noon with local food served, followed by films from 2 to 5 p.m.

Tickets are $10 in advance; $15 at the door; $5 for students. Special prices are available with the purchase of a FOR membership. Tickets can be purchased online at www.riverfriends.org.
