Will we cancel? No. 8:00 p.m.: The first guests arrive. People report light rain in Mitte. 8:15 p.m.: Now even here the raindrops start to fall. Is this the end? No.Suddenly the sky seems to lighten up a bit. Yes. Only a few countable drops and the rain ceases. The party can begin. Cowboys, farmers, indians and a few saloon sluts take to their seats. Welcome to our TRF Movie Classics Theater open air movie presentation.
