One of our very favorite things to do here in the summer, is go see a first run movie at the Corral Theatre. I have some pretty fond memories of me and my siblings being loaded into one of the many station wagons of our childhood, clad in our jammies, and heading off to the drive-in picture show. However, those memories pale in comparison to those that are to be had at the Corral Theatre, for the Corral is not a drive-in, but a walk-in outdoor theatre. Instead of being isolated in your car, you are mixing and mingling with everyone in town. Teens flock to the bleachers at the back, adults sit in the retro metal lawn chairs in the middle (or bring their own), and families with small children grab chairs at the front, spreading blankets on the ground for the kids. Occasionally a friendly dog will wander up and down the aisles, seeking handouts, and we don't mind sharing since all the refreshments are only a dollar. Owner Mary Anderson was extremely apologetic about finally having to raise ticket prices to $5 this year, but it's still a heck of a bargain, compared to big city theatres, and a whole lot more fun!
