A drive-in movie theater in Montana is back in business after getting conflicting messages from officials about whether it could operate under newly relaxed restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The owner of the Amusement Park Drive-In Theatre in Montana is happy to be back in business, after getting conflicting messages from officials about whether the drive-in is allowed to operate under newly relaxed restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The Governor's office just called and said this whole thing was a mistake, that he always wanted drive-in theatres open and they missed that line in the directive that said drive-in theatres," Cooke wrote on the drive-in's."We now have the Governor's authorization to STAY OPEN!! Come watch a movie under the stars tonight."
Cooke had become frustrated after he was initially told his drive-in could begin operating this week — only to then see local and state officials reverse that stance.
