Alliance Sponsors Kids Movies

The 2010-11 Alliance Bank Children’s Matinee Series kicks off at Hamilton Theater on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 12:30pm with the animated family favorite Madagascar2: Escape 2 Africa, sponsored in partnership with Mang Insurance Agency.  The Utica Zoomobile will visit with live animals before the movie.

Thanks to Alliance Bank, in partnership with individual film sponsors and campus partners, admission to all films in the series is free for children and adults.  This marks the eighth year that Alliance Bank is sponsoring the children’s series. 

“We are extremely grateful to Alliance Bank, and to our individual film sponsors, for making this series available to the community,” said Hamilton Theater’s Chuck Fox.  He noted that more than 2,000 children and family members from Norwich to Brookfield to Cazenovia to Oneida and all communities in between enjoyed the series last year.
