It’s a chance to rediscover the magic of browsing shelves with the family while chatting with friendly staff or fellow customers about the latest and hottest movies. Crossover Video and Games will once again be participating! To mark the occasion, we are offering; free samples, 50% off used movies, coupons, 1.00 Gallery Rentals, prizes and more! We are also hoping to have special guests in store throughout the day! Update: It is looking like we may have a charity BBQ in the parking lot!
