This was the scene Friday night on the lot at the corner of Heritage Way and Carlton Trail, which was the location for the fourth-annual Send Off to Summer drive-in movie event. The event is hosted by the City of North Battleford Leisure Services Department. The lot had the look and feel of a typical drive-in movie theatre of the past. As was the case a year earlier, the lot was packed with cars and lawn chairs, as families from around the area took in the movie Despicable Me 3. The movie was shown on the inflatable blow-up screen provided by Fresh Air Cinema, which has made its name presenting outdoor movies in venues across western Canada. Over at the Co-op Aquatic Centre, there were various carnival games as well as food vendors serving the large crowd of enthusiastic patrons. Photos by John Cairns
