This blog has a picture of the same drive-in, and labels it “Ogden Utah”:

Ticket stub added courtesy of Rod Nelson.
Also identifies it as Ogden Utah.
It’s the greater metropolitan Ogden area, but Harrisville is the actual city that it was in.
Boxoffice, March 8, 1976: “Wes Webb of Salt Lake City announced that his Navigare, Inc., has purchased the 700-car North Star Twin Drive-In in Ogden, Utah, from the Orpheum Theatre Corp. Extensive remodeling and improvements are slated for the newly acquired facility.”
The drive-in opened as the North Star Auto Theater, which is how it advertised for the rest of the 1962 season. Winds knocked down the screen on Feb. 10, 1963, and when the drive-in reopened on April 10 that year, it began advertising as the North Star Drive-In.
