The Cherry Bowl Drive-In Fix in Benzie County

A couple of days ago, Harry(the owner) had a technical problem at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In. Brad the Drive In technician rushed up here to fix it. When Brad comes to town, he feverishly works until the problem at the Cherry Bowl is resolved. Then, he comes to our Motel to get some sleep before he heads back home.



According to the Drive In technicians that stay here every now and then, the Cherry Bowl and it's equipment is one of the finest Drive In Theatres in the Country. They know, they have worked on most of them. The Cherry Bowl is the only Drive In Theatre in Northwest Michigan and it is located right here in Honor.



Showing the latest rated "G" and "PG" movies, a double feature each night, the Drive In offers great family entertainment at an affordable price. Only $8.50 per person and children under 12 are FREE.



When we got in line for the ticket booth, Brad was still working out an audio problem. The movie starts at dusk, he'd better hurry.



It was getting dark fast and time was running out for Brad, we walked up to the old fashioned Snack Bar to get some popcorn and soda. I also bought a Cherry Bowl Bumper Sticker for our office.



Suddenly we heard a loud voice over the loudspeaker welcoming all Cherry Bowlers. Horns were going off and people were whistling, cheering and clapping. The show was ON and all was working perfectly. Brad the technician had come through again. Now, he and Harry both can relax and get some sleep.



It was a great night at the Drive In. The next morning everyone agreed, a visit to the Cherry Bowl is a wonderful blast from the past. A unique fun experience for movie lovers of all ages.
