STARS, STARS, EVERYWHERE THERE'S STARS

Firehouse Drive-In Returns for second year with two big nights

COLOGNE, MN...The second annual Firehouse Drive-In has expanded to include two nights of family fun and entertainment. Set on a 4 acre park in Cologne, this true drive-in experience is sure to offer everyone who attends a night of memories. The grass has come back from
the winter snow, the nights are getting longer and August will soon be here. People wanting to attend will have a chance to go either Friday, August 20th or Saturday, August 21st. The movies that will be shown on the 50' wide x 30' high improved outdoor screen will be a great mix of family and classic (both old and new classic) movies for all to experience.

Friday will feature: "Tom and Jerry," "Ice Age" and "Ladder 49." Saturday will shine with: "Looney Tunes," "Shrek" and "American Graffiti." "We are excited to bring this year's line up of movies", stated Chuck Joos, Chief of the Cologne Fire Department.

The gates will open at 6 pm both evenings with activities for both kids and adults. The smoke house, fire truck rides will be back as well as some new bounce houses. The concession stand promises to offer you all the goodies deserving of a drive-in, come check out all the
great treats. Make sure to show up early and bring your lawn chairs, blankets, radios (to listen to the movie if you are outside your car), gloves, footballs and other outdoor toys.

Like last year, parking passes are needed to reserve a spot for your car, new or old. A hint for all, drive your classic car over and you may just end up in the first or second row to view the movies. "I would encourage everyone to get their passes early, the event was well received last year, we had a sell out crowd," said Chuck. Passes can be picked up at Lenzen Chevrolet Buick in Chaska, KleinBank in Cologne and at a new place this year, the Holiday Station Store in
Cologne. A donation to the CFD Truck Restoration Fund will get you the pass. Last year, the passes were gone well in advance of the movie night. So plan early and get your pass for a night under the stars and with the stars that you won't forget. You may also get your parking
pass from a Cologne Fire Department Member. Parking passes are $20 each per night and the donation goes towards the truck restoration.

The Firehouse Drive-In is presented by Lenzen Chevrolet Buick of Chaska, KleinBank and Mid-County Coop. The outdoor movie experience takes place at the Village Park in Cologne which is the South West corner of Highway 212 & County Road 53. For more information, check out the website at www.firehousedrivein.com or call John Hendel at 952.380.8064. The event brought to you by Lenzen Chevrolet Buick in Chaska, KleinBank and Mid-County Coop.
