The Elverhoj Museum will be hosting an Eyvind Earle and John Cody show at the same time as the screening. During the celebration, there will be a special Sleeping Beauty display of Earle's original works, guest speaker and Princess Aurora herself to meet and take photos with.

This is a FREE event to everyone to attend, however donations are suggested. The event will be outside and inside. Please bring appropriate attire.
