The free 20th-anniversary screening of Pixar's "Cars" with franchise creative director Jay Ward has moved to the McPherson Opera House and shifted 30 minutes later to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. The college's Sept. 17 update supersedes the 10 a.m. showing in Brown Auditorium that Citizen Journal reported Sept. 15 and Sept. 16.

The college's C.A.R.S. Club will still host a Cars & Coffee from 8 to 10 a.m. on campus beforehand, where Ward will also be available to meet the public, according to the update, which says the screening remains open to the public. Ward, who joined Pixar Animation Studios in 1998 and worked on "Monsters, Inc.," "Ratatouille" and "Cars," is scheduled to spend two days on campus, including sessions with Automotive Restoration and Art & Design students and a private event for the broader campus community. Tina Goodwin, the college's director of public relations, is listed as the contact for the visit at (620) 242-0465.
