The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Meyer & Gross Real Estate and the Atlantic Community Promotions Commission, will host a Drive-In Movie experience this Saturday, August 15th. Chamber Executive Director Bailey Smith says the event is being held Saturday because they were not able to hold it June 20th, as originally planned. The Drive-In Movie will be at the Cass County Fair Grounds in the grandstand area, beginning around 8:30 PM with a showing of “Grease”. Cars may begin parking at 7 PM.

The screen is 60 feet long with a high definition projector. A transmitter will be provided to hear the movie from inside vehicles. Attendees will turn their radio to a certain station and the transmitter will play the audio through their car speakers. Entry is $15 per car. Limited parking is available, and tickets must be purchased before the event. Tickets can be purchased at www.atlanticiowa.com. Tickets that were purchased for the original date in June will be honored for this showing.

In consultation Cass County Public Health to ensure all safety measures are met, individuals are not allowed to leave their vehicles, unless it’s to use the restroom, but may sit in the back of vehicles and beds of trucks with individuals from the same household. Outside seating will not be allowed. Concessions will not be available. A porta-potty and handwashing station will be on the fairgrounds. Persons wanting concessions are encourage to stop at Atlas Atlantic Cinema’s curbside pop-up popcorn night before they come to the movie, from 6 PM – 8:30 PM. Visit Atlas Atlantic Cinema’s Facebook page for more information and pricing of the concessions they will be providing curbside.
