Our Movie Theater

Forty years ago a young couple, from the big city, fell in love with this small town.
.
They wanted to stay here, and decided what we needed was a movie theater.

So, they stretched their budget, and opened this place. At the time, with another couple.

With vintage equipment from the thirties....they made it happen. Meet a young Phil.
and his wife Carolyn, behind the concession stand. Over the years they have employed many teenagers,entertained us with great movies, and not to mention donated  countless volunteer hours to the community.
Last night, the town celebrated their 40th anniversary of being in business. Carolyn,again, back behind the counter,


 and Phil telling us about the fun summer line up. He also gave away a door prize, as he always does before the start of every movie. We will have first run movies Friday through Sunday. Vintage Movies, on Tuesday nights, and old Westerns on Wednesday night. If you are ever in Lake City. Treat yourself, and go the movie.
Happy Anniversary to our much loved little movie theater.

    An enterprising young couple who have met with success and a good reputation over the years. You are lucky to have them in your mountain community.
