A Little Culture in Kanab

After many days of hiking and nature it was time to change things up.  It was time for a night out on the town.  The only drawback to my plan was we were in Kanab.  Now don't get me wrong, Kanab is a fine tiny town in the middle of nowhere Utah, so options are limited.  But being resourceful we were able to find "country culture" in downtown Kanab.

It was western movie night at the Crescent Moon Theatre.

Once you arrive and pay your $1.00 admission you get to vote on which movie they will show that evening.  Luckily the audience chose a great movie for the night.  We got to see John Wayne in his first role as a leading man in "The Big Trail".

After purchasing our $1.00 popcorn and $1.00 coke we were ready for a full evenings entertainment.  The evening began with the projectionist showing us his vacation slides from many years ago. Ya gotta love old Kodachrome.

It's a nice theatre with soft seats, good sound and old movie posters decorating the walls.

The lady on the right built the theatre after her husbands death to honor his love of movies.  She's still going strong at 92 and was there to greet us as we came into her theatre.

Big Trail was a great movie and John Wayne played his role as John Wayne well.  In the end he got the girl and all was right with the world.

The final kiss is coming next.

It was a great evening out on the town.  The best part was it only cost me $6.00.  Who says I'm cheap?  I prefer "thrifty" if you don't mind.

Life is good.
