A special showing of "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in Disney Digital 3-D" is being shown at The Majestic 11 by Cinemaworld Theatre in Vero Beach on Oct. 24. The event, sponsored by Omni Financial and The Majestic 11, is benefiting the Environmental Learning Center's Fire Fund Campaign.

The evening of entertainment is for all ages. Doors open at 6:45pm with the film starting one hour later. Events before the showing include a raffle for prizes including an autographed photo of Chris Sarandon (the voice of "Jack Skellington" in The Nightmare Before Christmas), a children's costume contest with prizes (ages 12 and under), and catering by Bono's Barbeque & Grill.

Admission for the event is $20 for adults and includes a $5 concession voucher for use that evening. Children's admission is $12 (ages 12 and under). All children who come to the showing in costume will receive a free "Kid's Pack" including a child size popcorn, drink, and fruit snacks. Seating is limited, and tickets are available online at www.cinemaworldonline.com/vero and at The Majestic 11 Box Office located off U.S.1 in The Majestic Plaza next to K-Mart.

Omni Financial opened in Vero Beach in 2003 and staffs over two hundred employees to serve clients nationally in negotiating business and personal tax debts. Their Charity Committee selected the ELC as the charity of choice to benefit from this event.

The ELC is a non-profit nature center located off CR510 at the western end of the Wabasso bridge. Its 64-acre island campus is open to the public six days a week. There is no admission for visiting. In June 2008 ELC's main exhibit hall, classroom and bathrooms were destroyed by a lightning-caused fire. Proceeds from this Omni Financial/Majestic event are aiding ELC's Fire Fund Campaign. The new facilities are being built following green construction practices including a photovoltaic energy system funded by The William Bingham Foundation. For information on ELC's many excursions, green workshops, lecture series, and family programs, visit www.DiscoverELC.org or call (772) 589-5050.
