GIBSON CITY -- People are fighting to keep the Harvest Moon Drive In. It could close down if they don't make the switch to digital projection. 

That's because, by the end of the year, movies will no longer be made on film. It will cost owners about $150,000. But they and people in the community refuse to quit.

It is a similar situation for the Onarga Theater. It needs to raise $65,000.
