‘The Show Must Go On’ Midway Drive-In Opens With Special Memorial Showing

July 10, 2017 Mikayla Kemp

The Midway Drive-In in Minetto is opening for the 69th season with a two-movie feature for the first week showing Transformers (PG-13) and Baywatch (R ) from Friday July 14 – Thursday July 20. But first, the season will officially kick off with a memorial showing of “A Reason to Celebrate” a documentary by Peter Mahan in honor of Midway Drive-In’s long time owner whose unexpected passing delayed the opening as family and community alike mourned a great loss. John Nagelschmidt V had owned the Midway Drive-In in Minetto since 1986, a natural progression following 20 years previous of working and managing the theater since his first day after picking up a job in high school that quickly turned into a developing passion. The documentary will be shown on July 13, with free admission.
