This opened as the Blossom Trail Drive-In in 1955 and renamed South Trail Drive-In on August 7th, 1960. The 1960 ad is in the photo section and the 1955 ad is to come.
First movies as South Trail Drive-in were “S.o.s. Pacific” and “Dinosaurus”.
Boxoffice, Feb. 4, 1956: “The new Blossom Trail Drive-In has been opened for the season. Theodore Pawela, former Umatilla citrus man, is owner, and his son Edward will manage the new theatre.

The concession stand will serve cafeteria-style for faster and more efficient service.”
