LEHIGHTON, Pa. — As night fell, the excitement began here at the Mahoning Drive-In Theater near Lehighton.
The grounds were packed with film fans who were here for a four-day movie festival called Joe Bob's Drive-in Jamboree.
But what really had fans pumped was the incredible news that the solar energy company that was looking to purchase the land the drive-in leases will not be doing so.
