News Article: Benzie To Get New Drive-In - D. O. Gregory and L. O. Griffin owners of the Crystal Theatre at Beulah, Wexford Theatre at Manton, and Saukee Theatre at Lake City, have just returned from a
week's trip to Milwaukee attending the National Drive-In Theatre convention, where they have completed plans for the construction of
the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre, located on U.S.-31 between Beulah
and Honor at the intersection of the South Platte Lake road.
The plans include the latest in sound and projection and facilities which are adaptable to third dimension when available for drive-in theatres. Plans also include a modern concession building, rest rooms and playground for the children. The opening will be the latter part of next month. (Traverse City Record-Eagle 3/31/53)
Update: We took our 10 and 13 year children to the Cherrybowl Drive-in this past weekend. Our 10 year old son had a blast playing volleyball with me (his mom) and then meeting new friends at the playground! The concession stand had excellent food and reasonable prices. It was a true blast into the past for my husband and I. We were both excited to share this experience with our kids. Since we have a vacation place in Kalkaska, it was an easy drive to Honor. We DEFINITELY will be going back!!! This time on a Friday night (we went on Wed.) when it will be more crowded. The night we were went there were about 30 cars. We want them to experience a "true" family drive-in. Keep up the good work. (Denise Frank 7/4/02)
