Other side of the river. The drive in near here is doing quite well. You have to get there 2 hours early though. I think they have marked off areas in the grass that you can sit in. We haven’t been yet.

It does say at the bottom of the list to check back as they add more dates.

I live in a college town with a Walmart and people get stupid in the parking lot. I'd guess putting the no alcohol stipulation will make it easier to have the idiots removed.

the only locations are in Rogers and Springdale, in the extreme northwest corner of the State. Sure, that's where Walmart is headquartered but come on. How about showing a little love for the rest of the State?

If there weren't signs, you would not know when you drive from Rogers to Bentonville. Walmart still isn't showing a lot of love for most of its home state.
