DavidZornig commented about Skyvue Drive-In on Mar 7, 2023 at 4:10 pm

Additional history credit Henry County Historical Society, Inc:

“On April 22, 1967, anticipation was growing for the opening of the new Skyvue Drive-In Theatre on Ind. 3 South. The name was chosen from more than 600 entries.

The Skyvue Drive-In was opened June 9, 1967. Car capacity is listed at 500 with sound over FM radio and pole speakers. The drive-in was open seasonally from May thru September. It was closed in 2011 but reopened for the 2014 & 2015 season, but closed as a 35mm operation, unable to raise funds for digital projection."

Also credit Ron Wyatt: “The winner of the name the drive- in contest was a student from Knightstown High School. He won a life time free pass. I think his last name was Clark, graduated in 67 or 68.”

DavidZornig commented about Grand Theatre on Mar 7, 2023 at 3:55 pm

Additional history credit Henry County Historical Society, Inc:

“Feb. 25, 1916, a fire started in the furnace room of the Grand Theatre before a crowd had started to assemble for the evening show. George A. Conduitt, a New Castle firefighter, was struck by falling timbers while battling the blaze. He died from his injuries the next day. The tragedy happened just six years after the theatre opened. Photos here show both the outside and inside of the theatre, which was located on North Main Street in downtown New Castle.”
