Big Sky Drive-In Grand Opening, 10/19/05
By Chad Hauris. 11/2/05

The Big Sky Drive-In opened Weds. Oct. 19, 2005. The opening had been pushed back several times due to construction and sewer problems but now it was finally open. Myself and John & Robbie and Robbie's sister and her daughters attended. It was so exciting for me as I had not been to a drive-in since 1983. Click pictures for larger views.

Before the movie.
Cars started gathering about 6:45 PM for the show.

Car and lawnchair.
Here is my lawnchair set up before the show. Sound was broadcast on FM radio, so the portable radio is ready to go.

Here I am enjoying my taste treats before the show begins. I had a Chihuahua sandwich (2 Tortillas, taco meat, pimento cheese, and lettuce), Nachos with chili and cheese, Sour Patch Kids, Dr Pepper, and hot popcorn.

Drive-in film on screen.
Here is the film playing on the screen. The picture was bright and well focused, although it's kind of hard to take a good picture of it.
