For the second year, the City of Prattville is joining Nickelodeon, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, and the National Park Foundation in celebrating the Worldwide Day of Play event.

Mayor Bill Gillespie has issued a proclamation recognizing October 6, 2012 as the Worldwide Day of Play here in Prattville, Alabama. This year, in addition to the proclamation, we will be holding a fun event for the children of Prattville at Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Capitol Hill.

Filmgoers in Montgomery Alabama will unite with audiences in over 300 cities spanning six continents to view and judge the work of the  next generation, of filmmakers from around the world when the 15th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival screens at The Capri Theatre in Montgomery on Friday, September 28 at 7:00pm
Out of 520 entries received from 49 countries around the world, MANHATTAN SHORT selected 10 short films as finalists. Each film is 18 minutes or under in length. Countries represented this year include Norway, The Netherlands, Russia, England, Ireland, Peru, France, Romania, Spain and the USA in what festival organizers describe as the "United Nations of Film Festivals."
These short films will not only entertain a global audience but will be judged by them as well. Filmgoers will be handed a voting card upon entry and asked to vote for the one film they feel should win.
