Sometimes time just gets away from us and we forget to pause and just enjoy life and each other. Even though we live pretty boring lives, I feel like we have just been so busy to pause and enjoy.
We live in a rural area. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the largest town that would have activities such as movie theaters or shopping malls. However, we have a great small town attraction that we enjoy on occasion. We have a small town movie theater called the Onarga Theater. This small town theater shows the new releases that are very popular. Instead of driving 45 minutes to spend $14 for a movie ticket, we drive 10 minutes and spend $6 per movie ticket.
This small town theater has one screen and is truly a small time theater. The way that old theaters once were. There is a ticket desk behind the bars and the tickets pop up from the counter. For each ticket purchased you get a punch on a card that earns you a free caramel or regular popcorn! That brings me to the concession stand. It serves all the movie favorite candies, slushies, soda pop, CARAMEL popcorn, and green rivers!
If the Onarga Theater doesn’t sound unique enough yet, wait for it! When you walk in the ticket taker, tears your red ticket in half and gives you half back. What do they do with the other half, you ask? Well, at intermission (YES intermission) they play a game and three lucky movie goers gets a chance at a prize!
When the movie is over, the staff is there to hold to the doors open for you, thank you for coming to the movies and bids you a good night! It is such small town charm that only the Onarga Theater can provide.
