Kendall Bend & Citizens4Community Launch “Let’s Watch” Outdoor Movie Series with Happy Gilmore

September 2nd, 2026 by

 

The first movie in the Let’s Watch Outdoor Movie series was a “hole-in-one” outdoor movie night! There are outdoor movie nights, and then there’s watching Happy Gilmore on an actual driving range. Kendall is excited to team up with Citizens4Community for the second year to kick off the “Let’s Watch” Outdoor Movie Series at Aspen Lakes Golf Course in Sisters. With the big screen set up right on the driving range and a beautiful Central Oregon sunset as the backdrop (including a rainbow we definitely rented for the event), we couldn’t have been more excited to invite our community for an outdoor movie night.

And when we say the series is “powered by Kendall,” we mean it literally! An electric vehicle provided the power for the outdoor movie screen, allowing us to watch movies in themed locations. Community members filled the driving range with blankets, chairs, friends, and family as Happy Gilmore played on the big screen. It was a fun way to spend a summer evening together and a great start to a movie series that’s all about bringing the Sisters community together.

If you missed this one, we still have three movies left in the series! Grab your camping chairs or blankets, family and friends, and join us:
