The Oak Forest Park District is planning to host three movie showings at El Morro Park this summer—and they would love to do it on a big, beautiful new screen. The park district is in the running for a 20-foot screen, projector and speakers, which would make the movie experience pretty incredible, said Cynthia Grannan, director of parks and recreation. The outdoor movie system is the grand prize of a contest hosted by Open Air Cinema, and Oak Forest residents can give the park district a leg up on the competition. Voting ends June 15. Here's what to do: Currently, the park district uses a canvas screen stretched across a wooden frame—a system that takes five people just under an hour to set up, Grannan said.
