ROGERS, Texas — The Rogers Police Department has announced that the Family Movie Night originally planned for July 27 has been cancelled at this time.

Rogers PD said it will attempt to obtain a Public Use Movie License for future events to "bring the public together".
The department said future events will be announced.
According to the City of Rogers, the Police Department originally planned to present Family Movie Night at 7 p.m. on July 27, showing Dreamworks' "Home" at the Rogers Civic Center. The event was planned to benefit Operation Blue Santa.
