The Fairgrounds had one of the larger capacities and for years was one of the higher grossing drive-ins in Western Pennsylvania.

It was south of South Park and sat up on a hill.

On nights when the fog rolled in, it could interfere with the image reaching the unusually large outdoor screen.

I was the projectionist there for a long time, Cinnamette ran the place. The Volk family were the managers at the time I started there. they got fired, a guy Mark then took over for one year 1983, then they hired a woman named Linda in 84, my last year. Linda was my downfall. She wanted me to teach her boyfriend to run movies, I said I had to get approval from the union, and he had to go before them to get approved. So one night she asked me if I wanted a beer, I said yes, but only after the movie was over. after the movie was over and I locked the booth I got my beer. We sat by her car had a beer and left for the night. The next day the business agent called me and said I got fired for drinking on the job, the bitch really set me up good. I only hope she finally got hers.
