Drive-in Movie Event 

South Drive In Theater



Wednesday, October 15, 7:00pm
 
We have made arrangements to once again rent out the South Drive in Theater for a weeknight movie night. This will also be for a combined event with the Scioto Longhouses, but as many of you know there's plenty of room for all of us at this venue. This is a family friendly event, so please feel free to bring the whole household to the theater.

The days are getting shorter, which means the movie can start earlier and, more importantly, end earlier. Sunset is at ~7:30 that night, so we should be able to get the movie started soon thereafter. Bring dinner in with you and have dinner under the stars while watching a movie with your family. Each family will get a large bag of popcorn from the concession stand for free as part of the event. The cost to attend is $30 per family, please click here to register so you can join us for a night at the movies. Register Here:
