Warren, VT. (February 26, 2013) – Cities across North America will be celebrating their own Giant Slayer Day in an epic way, in anticipation of upcoming theatrical release “Jack the Giant Slayer”—a fun, 3D action adventure from director Bryan Singer.

On March, 1 from 2:30 – 4:00 pm kids and their families are invited to gather in the snow behind the Gate House Lodge at Lincoln Peak where there will be an outline of a footprint.

Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom and its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend… and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
