a night at the Greenville Drive-In
It is always bittersweet saying goodbye to another memorable summer upstate. To ease the heartache of having to switch out our swimsuits for sweaters, we thought it best to embrace the seasonal change with an end-of-summer celebration at one of our favorite upstate destinations: The Greenville Drive-In. Set in a rural field off Route 32 in the town of Greenville, we collaborated with Zio & Sons to create a nostalgic cinematic experience sweetened with the comforts of simpler times. There may have been a nip in the air, but spirits were warm as ticket holders arrived ready to enjoy a night of local food, movie themed cocktails, live music from rock band Another Castle, and a screening of “Back to the Future” on an 80-foot wide screen, the Catskill Mountains silhouetted against the sky. We had beautiful antique servingware on display from I.U. Tripp & Co., farm-made root beer floats courtesy of Heather Ridge Farm, and flowers freshly foraged from Tiny Hearts Farm. As night fell, we drifted off with popcorn toward our toasty vehicles and tuned the radios to 88.7 to watch the movie from the comfort of our cars. Under the stars with friends and loved ones, we enjoyed an old classic that had us laughing and feeling like kids again. It was the perfect note to end summer on. Thank you to all who came out that night. Let’s do it again soon!
