If nothing else, this recession will teach us all how to stretch our dollars in very creative, often very fun ways ...

Take, for instance, family entertainment. And this Easter weekend, you might have an extra large family looking for something to do together. Sure, everyone is scaling back on outings such as the movies -- after all, it costs a small fortune to take the niños out to the show. Or ... does it?

How does a FREE movie sound to you? How does a GREAT FREE movie sound to you? How does a GREAT, FREE, FAMILY movie sound to you? Pretty good, verdad?

Then grab la familia this Saturday, April 11 and head down to the Fox Theater on H Street in downtown Bakersfield for a FREE showing of "E.T.," the hearwarming story of an alien just looking for a little piece of home a gazillion miles away ...

Remember, this movie may be a little old to you, but it's brand new to your kids and it is -- and always will be -- a timeless classic for young & old.

Doors open at 3 p.m., show starts at 4. Support the Fox and freebies like this by purchasing some reasonably-priced treats at the snack bar -- and please, pick up after yourselves when the movie is over.

Remember to tell them your amigos at MAS sent you!

— “E.T.” The Movie, doors open at 3 p.m., show at 4 p.m. Saturday, Bakersfield Fox Theater, 2001 H St. Free. 324-1369.
