I'm confused. Your Grand Opening is planned for April 2006 Mission Tiki Drive-In Theatre Grand Opening Bash!, but this thread speaks of a 50th Anniversary. Can you please clarify?

Correct! The Mission Tiki, formerly the Mission Drive-In Theatre, has been around for 49 years... 50 this August! The Tiki theme renovation is coming along nicely. You can get a sneak peek of some of the renovations by visiting the drive-in, or online at www.myspace.com/missiontiki, then click on the "view more photos" link. Unfortunately, when we went to take the photos, my camera batteries went dead. We'll return soon (and on a sunny day next time) and take lots more, LOL.
Thanks and please note the event is on Saturday, August 5th in Montclair, CA, about 30 miles east of Los Angeles, closer to Pomona.

The planned April event was changed to August for a couple of reasons... first, we didn't want our date to be too close Tiki Oasis or the Tiki Ti's 45th anniversary. Second, we realized (Duh!) that 2006 was the Mission Drive-In's 50th anniversary. So, we opted to change the date from late April to August 5th. Thanks for pointing that out, and sorry for the confusion.

Is that ITD? Or is ITD the following Saturday? I seem to recall that ITD is the 2nd Saturday in August.
Hmmm, ITD at the Mission Tiki Drive In? Now that has some possibilities!

The date is set! I thought I'd give those who have not had a chance to visit the Mission Tiki as it is starting to take shape a sneak peak of some signs I am working on for the ticket booths.
They will have the theatre rules and such on them , Sure we could use aluminum reflective sign, but why when I can carve something up.

The signs you are carving ought to look beautiful, TD! We also love the snack bar interior. Once the "mood lighting" is in, it's going to be amazing. Can't wait to see the gardens and snack bar exterior project started too. Wow, the excitement about the MTDI is building big time!
