The chance to watch a story about a tap-dancing penguin brought out a large crowd to O'Donohue Park last Sunday, as the city's Parks and Recreation Department sponsored a free showing of the Academy Award-winning movie "Happy Feet."
Prior to the 8:30 p.m. start of the film, the Les Paultre Group and A-Train Productions singer Magaly provided entertainment.
Joining them were two members of the 1960's musical group, the Limelites.

 | | Once the sun went down and the movie started, all eyes were on the screen. |
