Operated by the Palmer Family and open 364 days a year (not Christmas). The Palmers added the indoor cinema in 1972. Its concession stand also services the Drive-In.

The Marquee that is used by this Drive In was originally used for the Tem-Bel Drive In Theatre, located in Temple Texas.. As seen here —> http://www.drive-ins.com/pictures/txtbeld002.jpg ..

There are some photos here, but the drive-in is called Town & Country:
