DriveInView
By Chris Murphy
The Drive In is back, and we hope it’s back to stay. The biggest news is the Ceres Drive In has reopened as the Ceres Cruise In. Our friend Mark Stotzer, who is in the event business, currently sidelined by the COVID restrictions, jumped in head first with his production team to lease, clean up, repair and renovate the drive in. They repainted the 40 ft tall screen, updated the concession stands and created 12’ wide spaces for over 250 cars. Opening weekend was a huge sold out success featuring Frozen, American Graffiti and Avengers. Classic cars filled the Cruise In and everyone celebrated as the film started. There is a great line-up of films this month.
