ONLINE LECTURE: Colorado's Drive-in Theaters
Wednesday, March 17
Noon-1 p.m.
Aurora was home to Colorado's first drive-in theater, and dozens more
soon followed. Some were gone within months. Some are still alive today.
Join Michael Kilgore, author of "Drive-Ins of Colorado," as he
describes the people, the stories, and the giant screens that
entertained millions of movie-goers.
The lecture is free, but you must register to receive the link to the online Webex meeting. Space is limited, please only register if you plan to attend. More than one person can attend using the same computer.
