We heard the drive-in located in Colville might be closing if they did not raise enough money to convert to the new required digital format, so thought we'd take a drive up there to catch it one last time. We drove up early on Saturday and spent the day checking out the local shops. We explored a place called Barmans right on Main Street. Had a lunch counter and a soda fountain, antiques for sale and 2 upper floors that are currently being restored. We then went to a scrapbook and antique store (Forget Me Not) and then drove over to where the Colville Fair was taking place. It was rainy so we decided to drive to Kettle Falls instead and checked out a few more antique shops (A Kick in the Attic and Red Apple Trading Post). We drove back to Colville and went to Stephani's Oak for dinner. Ordered chicken fettuccine, a Cajun fish dish and a Canadian Bacon and chicken dish. Way too much food for us to finish!
We stopped at our hotel (Comfort Inn) and relaxed until it was time to go to the movies. Since they don't open until "dusk" we had plenty of time. Tonight's double feature was Turbo and Wolverine.
A lot of the attendees drove up in their vintage cars - it was fun to see all the different cars that had been restored. We felt like we were ruining their groove because we were the only newer car in the back row (for awhile). When it got closer to movie time, it packed in nicely with folks in the back of truck beds and vans full of kids. I slept during a big part of both movies (no surprise to Audrey) so thankfully we had gotten the hotel to stay in. We spent the night and drove home the next day.
