The Oct. 30, 1961 issue of Boxoffice had a full-page story on Sky manager William Jenkins' promotions. In particular, patrons who attended shows during the winter at the Sky, “Michigan’s Pioneer of In-Car Heaters,” received an Igloo Club card. After four visits, the fifth was free.

Boxoffice, Nov. 18, 1950: “ADRIAN, MICH. - Speakers at drive-in situations are stolen at times but at the Sky Drive-In here, an enterprising thief stole the entire insides of a speaker and left the shell hanging on the post. R. B. Tuttle, manager, said that a recent fog which rolled in so heavily near the end of the second feature of a dual bill caused him to give out 400 rain checks. Nearly a third of the patrons decided they had their money’s worth and refused rain checks, he said.”
