Friends, I'm struggling thinking about super hero films in our next series, "What is a Hero". I think there is something about how I watch super hero films, you kind of have to stop questioning and just enjoy.

The idea of our themes is to really make us question. What does being a hero mean in our community? I'm really questioning, who are the heroes that Hopkins talks about and what films represent them.

As I am trying to think of movies I would like to see next season, I think of "firsts" like Catherine Burnes, the first female doctor in Hennepin County. Or Butsie Maetzold, a coach for 40 years. These are heroes, real heroes that inspire us.

Harnessing the Power of Community: The Hopkins Raspberry Festival 2023

In today's fast-paced world, where digital communication dominates our lives, the power of community often gets overlooked. We are so fortunate to see the true power of a community coming together during the Hopkins Raspberry Festival bringing people together, fostering a sense of unity and connection. In the summer of 2023, the festival once again showcased the incredible power of community, highlighting the importance of coming together and celebrating local traditions.

The Hopkins Raspberry Festival has a rich history that dates back to 1935 when it began as a small local celebration of the raspberry harvest. Over the years, it has grown into a week-long extravaganza that attracts thousands of visitors from near and far. This festival not only pays homage to the agricultural roots of the community but also symbolizes the resilience and spirit of the people of Hopkins.

Using the Power of Community to Reach Your Dreams

Dreams are an integral part of human existence. They inspire us, motivate us, and push us to reach beyond our limitations. While individual effort and determination play crucial roles in achieving our dreams, the power of a strong and supportive community cannot be understated.

When surrounded by like-minded people who believe in our abilities, we feel empowered to take risks and pursue our aspirations. That is what we hope happens in our movie events. The reason we bring movies to Hopkins is to allow you to find your like-minded neighbors. Attending a movie with Hopkins Community Cinema is the path for you to fill your dreams and aspirations.

Your neighbors, gathered around the big screen, provide opportunities for collaboration and networking, which can…
