LUCASVILLE— Members of Growing Lucasville Opportunities (GLO) know exactly what the community wants and are promising to deliver just that in coming days with another revival of the drive-in movie nights.

GLO’s drive-in lineup includes four movies across two nights.

Friday, September 13 will showcase Halloween (2018), rated R, and Monsters, Inc, rated G.

Saturday, September 14 will showcase Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, rated PG13, and Elemental, rated PG.

This is the fourth time the group has brought back the Lucasville drive-in the community. Last year, they launched the program to everyone’s excitement in summer and then closed with a fall show. They’re following the same formula this year.

“Summer Nights was our inaugural event at Scioto Breeze, but then we had a fall event that we called Fall Frenzy,” Cunningham said of last year. “We regeared it to two summer events this year and we think it will be even better, which is important to us, because we’ve had great support not only from Lucasville and the county, but beyond to neighboring counties and people from Kentucky. The support we’ve had makes us feel like this is something we could do for the foreseeable future.”

Tickets for the event are limited to capacity onsite, which is 300 cars per showing. Admission for each vehicle is $40 and will admit all individuals within the vehicle. An opportunity to secure your ticket can be found on the group’s Facebook page.

At the last event, Cunningham explained that the group sold out three of the four nights on presale tickets, leaving little room for consideration for onsite admission the day of.

“If you want to attend, I recommend you get your ticket in advance, because these continue to go quickly online during presale,” Cunningham explained of the event at the last showing. “Our goal continues to be making these events attractive for large groups, which means more people onsite and a better event. We’d love to see six or eight people come through with these carloads, which also make this a relatively affordable event.”

The group not only offers movies onsite for those enjoying the night, but they bring in additional vendors and opportunities.

“We will have a live DJ again. Gates open at 6 p.m. and start time for movies is to be determined. So, that gives us time for music, food truck vendors, inflatables, free face painting with admission, vendors and more. We believe everyone who attended last year has already confirmed setup this year, but we’re expanding to include even more, expanding on drinks, snacks, and more.”

With these events being very exciting and popular, they have allowed GLO to hone in on them as fundraisers that make other work throughout the year possible. Not counting their massive park development that is underway, they also have various seasonal and mission-based events throughout the year that they afford thanks to money raised at the Summer Nights events.

“All of the proceeds from this event will go into our general fund, which allow us to do things like the tree lighting, the Be The Difference Day we have in May for volunteer work using supplies purchased by the organization, and we are planning even more opportunities in the future, including a back to school event that will assist children in some of their needs,” Cunningham explained.
