LIBERTY, NY – The organizers of the Liberty’s ‘Movies in the Park’ series regret to inform that, effective immediately, they have to suspend the showing of free outdoor movies in Liberty’s LaPolt Park until further notice. This is due to unresolved licensing issues. Says Heinrich Strauch, the Liberty CDC’s Executive Director: “We thought we had the proper license in place to cover our activities but we’ve learned over the last couple of days that there appears to be a license monopoly in place for the outdoor showing of movies. In order to protect our individual organizations from potential legal action, we decided to suspend movie nights until we have the situation cleared up. We sincerely hope to get going again later in the summer.”

Movies in the Park is a joint initiative of the Liberty Community Development Corporation, the Liberty Public Library, the Town of Liberty Parks & Recreation Department, and Floyd & Bobo’s Bakery. For more information contact the Liberty CDC at (845) 292-8202.
