GRAND RE-OPENING OF 66 DRIVE-IN!!
The
66 Drive-In Grand Re-Opening was held April 18
west of Carthage Missouri. Participants arrived from 16 states and
enjoyed a hospitable community and a wonderful day of activities at The
66! The headline movies were U.S. MARSHALS &
THE WEDDING SINGER.
Vendors
had booths set up in front of the big screen (where the shade can be found
at a Drive-In movie) and were peddling Route 66 Wares.
The crowd was able to feast at the modern refreshment
center, chat with car enthusiasts from across the nation, and make
new and lasting friendships.
Highlighting
the Re-opening was a
film cutting (a ribbon
cutting just didn't seem right!) and an award presentation made to owners
Mark Goodman & Wes Alumbaugh and their families. Comments
followed the film cutting by Route 66 author and historian Rob Roy.
As dusk
settled over the theatre, you had a hard time knowing what year it was
as several vintage autos were polished and
tuned to make their season debut also.
