Day 363

 

 

Ronnie’s Drive-Inn Theater---“Gus” with

Tim Conway & Don Knotts;
Herbie, the love bug” and

we got a stuffed car

 

 

“Oldsters” will remember the Drive-In theaters of “The-day”! Delightful “big”-screen outdoor nighttime adventure! Several in our area offered delightful entertainment for a few bucks for a car load. Some times (They tell me!?) the delights were not only on the screen---but…in the car.

But---that’s another story…for another time! Hmm!-Hmm!

Anyway, when our Beth came along, we continued our “Drive-in” adventures---Somewhat!?

One fine evening as nightfall approached, the family ventured to the outdoor theater to view the new Disney-movie-Herbie! About a VW racing-car with real life faculties. As we pulled up to the kiosk to pay to enter, the clerk surprised us---handing us a miniature of “Herbie” the Love-bug…announcing that we were car number 53 and won the mascot of the movie. “53” was Herbie’s number painted on his doors in the movie. Beth was absolutely Thrilled!

She treasured the token for many years.

This Cookie Jar Sweet Memories-entry is a “bit” out of rhythm in that the movie was “Herbie”. We did enjoy “Gus” at another time, but, they did not award us a “donkey”, then!?

 

Could-a been a “Hee! Haw!” Memory!?

 

Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Vroom! Vroom!” Memories!
