One of the lessons George Bailey learns in “It’s a Wonderful Life” is how much he loves his small town. So why not watch the 1946 classic on a big screen in a small town, specifically the beautifully preserved Pella Opera House? Tickets for the Dec. 21 screening are just $5, which includes popcorn.
