J. Hawkins shared the following information with us.
Graham Drive In was established in 1948. For years, Graham Drive In has operated with a 35mm film projector, while entertaining families from all across the area.
Now Graham Drive In is at a crossroad. After 2013, the movie industry will no longer produce or supply movies on 35mm film. If Graham Drive In does not convert to a digital projector, we will have to close. The cost of a new digital projector is upwards of $100,000 - no small cost for a business only open about 6 months out of the year.
Fortunately, Graham Drive In has been entered into a contest to WIN a new digital projector. Honda is going to donate 5 digital projectors to 5 drive-ins from across the United States.
