99 West Wins Best in the US

USA Today named 99 West Drive-In the best Drive-in in America.

By Enid Spitz

Newberg's 99 West Drive-In movie theater doesn't exactly scream "up-and-comer." But a few weeks ago, WW received an enthusiastic message from the theater's manager, Brian Francis. The subject: "Big News!!"

99 Drive-In was nominated in USA Today's 10 Best Drive-Ins competition.

After weeks of fierce competition, 99 West beat out Michigan's Capri Drive-In and Harvest Moon Twin Drive-in Movie Theatre in Gibson City, Illinois to be crowned "The Best Drive-In Movie Theater in the U.S.A."

Congratulations, 99 West!
