Hey Guys! I wanted to tell you something fun to do this summer. For the past 12 years my family have been going to the Graham Drive-in movie theatre.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and my parents always took us to the Picture Show. I have lots of fond memories of summer time of going to a movie at the Drive-In. The cool summer night air, under the stars, the smell of popcorn, the speakers inside the car and seeing the latest Double Feature!
I even went on my first real date to a drive-in movie. (in 1979)
There arn't a lot of drive ins left but Graham still has a great place! A super nice family (The Trouts) own and operate it. It's only open seasonally, May - September on weekends only (Fri-Sat-Sun); screening single features.
The audio for the movies' soundtrack is still provided with traditional Drive-in speakers. Admission: $4 ($1 for ages 6-11); 5 & under free.

To find out what is playing at the Graham Drive -in call them at 1-940-549-8478 and listen to the recording. They should be leaving a new message sometime soon. They show current movies (although I wish they would show some older things too, it would be so fun! Like those Beach Movies with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon or Elvis! LOL!)
So pack up the kids, grab your sweetie, get some blankets and lawn chairs and drive over to the Drive In! Its only about a 45 minute drive from Wichita Falls and the movie starts at Dusk.

The first time I took my son and his friends my son looked at me with big puppy dog eyes and said "Mom,This is the best day of my life!"
The concession area is very reasonable too. (not over priced like at the modern cinemas)
Go make a memory this summer... Heres a web site that really expresses how people who remember drive-ins feel about them. I get goose bumps listening to the people talk on this site.
