“Earl Seitz, Sandusky, O., owner of both indoor and outdoor theatres, recently acquired the Blue Sky Drive-In, Wadsworth, O., from Dale Morrison.” — The Exhibitor, Jan. 30, 1952

Dale R. Morrison’s obituary (Nov. 26, 1997) said that he built the Blue Sky in 1947 and owned it for five years.

The July 7, 1952 Akron Beacon Journal had an article about John Wohler, who ran the Blue Sky at the time. “The nine-acre lot is large enough for 430 cars and provides a large picnic area for those who care to take their supper out.” Earl V. Seitz of Sandusky bought the drive-in “the first of this year from Dale Morrison, who lives next door”.

Seitz still owned the Blue Sky in a Jan. 3, 1961 Beacon Journal article about his indoor Strand, which had shut down a few days earlier.

Gary Grieve owned the Blue Sky in a September 1989 article.

The Blue Sky Drive-In made the conversion to digital projection to open the 2014 season.
