'these films. Restricted Adult means no one<br />
;under the age of 18 years is allowed to see<br />
'this type of film."<br />
The Corral accordingly caters to families<br />
lin Calgary and the Midnapore, High River,<br />
JTurner Valley, Black Diamond, Nanton and<br />
lOkotoks districts to the south. "We want<br />
'families as patrons," says Sniderman. "And<br />
'we are planning a children's playground for<br />
;the younger ones." The playground will be<br />
ilocated directly behind the refresliment<br />
{center, Tiboni adds, and will be 80 feet by<br />
!lOO<br />
feet.<br />
The Corral's concessions building,<br />
which is called "The Chuckwagon," is 60<br />
feet by 80 feet and located in the center<br />
lof the area. Tlie building is of pre-stressed<br />
concrete and has no pillars or posts in the<br />
concourse. Bright colors with spe-<br />
|Cial eye-appeal are used throughout. Yeljlow,<br />
gold and red are the main colors used.<br />
|The custom built self-service counter is<br />
imade of Formica. It is open only during<br />
Ithe show. On peak nights there are nine<br />
Ito U concessions employes, including two<br />
[cashiers.<br />
"We are Calgary's only drive-in serving<br />
'pizza," says Tiboni. "We are supplied out<br />
of Toronto by Origena Pizza Crust Co. The<br />
Wrusts are already made up and kept<br />
jfrozen. We add everything else. We have<br />
:a special pizza sauce mix, which is supplied<br />
lalong with the special cheeses. Our big<br />
Jselling point on this item is freshly made<br />
\pizsa. We have two Blodgett ovens. Our<br />
iPizzas are eight inches in diameter. Each<br />
'oven will hold eight pizzas. The temperajture<br />
is kept at 650-700 degrees and will<br />
icook a pizza in four minutes. Most im-<br />
portant, of course, our pizzas are all prepared<br />
in advance. We stack them in 12's<br />
for storage in plastic bags and keep them<br />
frozen or under refrigeration.<br />
"We do not featui-e any cold weather<br />
foods. We have, though, just introduced a<br />
chicken dinner and shrimp rolls in addition<br />
to our French fries. We are, again, the<br />
only drive-in selling any of these items."<br />
