Scenic Kentucky: Drive-in Movie
2021-12-11 - Oldham Co., KY - Photo by Pen
There are a handful of drive-in theaters still operating in Kentucky, including the Sauerbeck Family Drive In in LaGrange, which has been showing Polar Express this holiday season on their 98-foot screen. Tickets get movie admission for a carload, plus hot cocoa, candy canes, and a meeting with Santa Claus.
I rememer the Columbia Drive-In as having a much larger screen when I saw Star Wars there back in 1977. I like to think that Columbia just has better marching bands and bigger movie screens than anywhere else, but the drive-in may be a childhood memory that wouldn't hold up to accurate measurement. If anyone knows details, or has photos of the old drive-in screen, drop us a line using the links on our comment form. Comments | Permalink

And that's a wrap for the 2021 Christmas in Columbia parade. It was the biggest and best ever! Looking in the rear view mirror, the historic Courthouse can be seen from the top of Jamestown Hill, filled with parade goers as they headed home. Comments | Permalink
