Boxoffice, Sept. 20, 1952: “Covington, Tenn. - Raco Enterprises, Inc., opened its Raco Drive-In on Highway 51 north.”

The last Boxoffice note I could find was that Bill Ruffin of Ruffin Amusement Co. had closed the Raco for the season in late September 1977.

The Raco Drive-In was part of the Covington’s Ruffin Theatre chain through much of its history. I beleve it closed sometime in the 70’s or 80’s.
