2. What to do with the young ones out early? Thanks to the Belmont Savings Bank, you have a free movie to attend! Head over to the Studio Cinema at 1 p.m. to see the Academy Award-nominated "Wreck It Ralph." 

In addition to free admission, Belmont Savings will be offering free popcorn as well as a coloring contest.
