2013 IS THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY-YEAR

MOVIES UNDER THE STARS SINCE 1933!

CLICK-ON THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM
YOU CAN WATCH THE MOVIE FROM YOUR CAR...OR A LAWN CHAIR...OR ON A BLANKET OR ON A COUCH, LIKE ABOVE.   TWO COUCHES.   THIS '85 GMC TRUCK, OWNED BY ALLEN GOODENOW,  PULLED INTO THE 61 DRIVE-IN THEATRE LAST NIGHT, LOCATED 5 MILES SOUTH OF MAQUOKETA.   THAT'S JOSH COWAN IN THE FRONT AND IN THE BACK, DOM BRADY AND NEXT TO HER, ALLEN GOODENOW....ALL 3 FROM MAQUOKETA.

ANYWAY YOU SIT....IT'S FUN WATCHING MOVIES UNDER THE STARS.
THE 61 DRIVE-IN THEATRE FIRST OPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 1950.
I HAVE HAD FUN OWNING IT SINCE 1972.
