That summer, the big screen remained dark as Mr. Goad searched for a buyer who could not only fund the necessary upgrades but also run the business in the affordable, family-friendly way of Mr. Hull. Last June, they convened a public meeting of more than fifty concerned fans. Coming from all walks of life, this group found common ground in their fondness for Mr. Hull, and their love of his outdoor theater. The Angels are now leasing the business from Mr. Goad while raising money to buy the theater by the 2001 deadline.

Mr. Eldridge Pultz and Mr. Bootie Moore both were there the very first days of Hull's Drive-In. In even before it was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Hull. Mr. Moore worked at the concession stand with four or five others and they sold a lot of hot dogs, sodas, and popcorn, though he can't remember the price. As he recalls, he and all the other young teens at Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church worked a deal with Mr. Mason Hostetter, who owned a farm behind the drive-in. On the night of the Grand Opening, all the teenagers that could fit climbed onto the flatbed and got hauled to the drive-in over the hill and down to the brand new screen.
