September 26-27-28  5th ANNUAL OPEN CAPTIONED SHOW  Triple Feature

The last week of September is the National Observance of "Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Awareness Week"....in celebration of that Week it has become
tradition to present an OPEN CAPTION Program at the Midway Drive In..still
the only Drive In Theatre in the world to present Open Captioned Films.

Please understand the normal sound track is also presented and broadcasted
through you Car Radio...this program is for ALL Audiences..Personally I
find the Open captioned films to be more enjoyable than the conventional
untitled Films.

If you have Friends or Relatives please with Hearing difficulties please
make them aware of this event..we attract an Audian ce from across ed NY
State...it has become one of the larger social events for the Deaf and
Hard of Hearing. There will information vendors present on Saturday Night
