Iola’s square became the spot for a family affair Friday evening with the second showing of Movie on the Square, a collaborative effort of several local businesses. About 75 gathered to watch “Little Rascals” on a large projector. 

Joelle Shallah of Bella Donna Salon offered free glitter tattoos for kids, and Iola Pharmacy, Sonic Equipment, Emprise Bank and 110 Lounge and Event Center teamed up to provide free water, popcorn, and true to the movie’s form, jumbo dill pickles.
