The Onset Bay Movie Company kicked off its 15th season of Thursday evening movies at the Onset Band Shell this week with "How to Train Your Dragon."

The six-week series features family-friendly films. The 8 p.m. movies are free to watch, with popcorn and drinks available for purchase to help support the group's efforts.

The Onset Bay Movie Company pays roughly $300 for the rights to screen each movie. It is funded through the Onset Bay Association, Community Events Committee, donations, and from viewer purchases on movie nights.
