In 2020, the year COVID-19 emerged, a drive-in movie popularity surge was sparked. The long-abandoned Trail Drive-In got its own resurge after a rally of locals fought for its revival. Over $30,000 was raised to repair the derelict theatre, but the goal was $250,000. No word has been given yet on whether the efforts are still underway to save the Trail.
