With thousands of cars travelling Rt 47 daily and the unique history of the Harvest Moon, we created a canvas to show off how special our community and partners are year round.

Whether you want to put up a 'shout out', celebration, birthday or full set of business ads, we have affordable rates that you can use to spread awareness, promote events and support one of the last operating drive-in theaters in the US in the process.
