Last year, the Wildey Theatre treated the community to two free at-capacity showings of the film “Elf” on the first day students’ winter vacation. Due to the event’s popularity, the film, starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel and Mary Steenburgen, will be shown all day long on Dec. 22 compliments of TheBANK of Edwardsville.

Showings of “Elf” will begin at 1 p.m. The final showing will take place at 9 p.m. and is a great opportunity for families, teens and even college students to watch the holiday favorite.
