Everything you need to know in life you can learn from The Princess Bride ... or at least our Marketing Director Angie thinks so. It's got true love, guidance on exterminating rodents of unusual size, and even tips on how to navigate the coronavirus pandemic. Oh, and it's a great film to quote along with the family. Check out the craft activities to go along with this week's Family Matinee recommendation.
