A night out — Drive-ins eager to welcome cooped-up residents

posted in: All News, USA | 0

For movie buffs looking to enjoy a big-screen cinema experience, outdoor drive-in theaters offer an alternative to the living room as COVID-19 restrictions keep indoor multiplexes shuttered.

“If you are looking to go out for dinner and a movie, we’re your only option,” said Dustin Grush, theater manager for the Carrolltown Hi-Way Drive-in and Portage’s Bar Ann Drive-in. Both outdoor theaters, owned by Don and Judie Gawel, are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights for double-features.

With the Bedford County Fair canceled because of the pandemic, the Bedford Chamber of Commerce is working with the fair board and business sponsors to create a drive-in experience at the Bedford County Fairgrounds, according to chamber President/CEO Kellie Goodman Shaffer. The first showing is expected July 4, and films will be family-oriented. One film will be shown per night.
