Kathy and Keith Cunningham had their moment on the big screen at North Park Drive-in Theatre.

Phyllis Cunningham of Speers was inspired by a recent feature from the City of North Battleford Historic Archives about North Park Drive-in Theatre.

She writes:

"Thanks to your historic picture of the North Park Drive In, our family took a trip down memory lane.

"In the summer of 1962 we heard our children's picture was on the 'big' screen at the drive-in. One night we took our children and went to check it out.

"Roxy Studio was advertising their photography and sure enough, there was the picture. We don't remember a thing about the movie, but we sure remember the advertisement."

Phyllis goes on to wonder if the News-Optimist received any other remembrances of North Park Drive-In.
