National Drive-in Day Celebration
We wanted to invite you to a very special occasion coming up in exactly 1 month- June 6th! Our family and a dozen others are the Stars of the brand new movie- “Back to the Drive-in” from film maker April Wright. The movie tells our stories, struggles and the heart and soul of the folks that work tirelessly to keep the drive-in experience alive in the modern era.
We are participating in the 1 night only World Premiere of the film as a #doublefeature with #TopGunMaverick on #nationaldriveinday celebrating the 89th anniversary of the creation of the drive-in movie theater.
