FAMILY FUN TO COME

“Up on the Wooftop,” the fourth creation of Backrow Studios, an Iowa-based film company, is a lovely family film about Toby, a smaller than average dog who dreams of leading Santa's sleigh. After sneaking on to his sleigh one night, he's accidentally left behind and finds himself joining forces with two kids to find his way back to the North Pole.

Patrons have two chances to watch “Up on the Wooftop” – Saturday, December 19 at 2 pm and Sunday, December 20 at 4 pm. “Wooftop” stars Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding in “Saved by the Bell”), and also features professionally trained canine actor Sammi Dover as Toby.
