Forty-five minutes later, they drove into Fairson, the next town north of Eliot Lake. As they drove past darkened shop windows, Scott glanced at Jackie, enjoying the fact that she had no idea where they were going. Just outside the town limits, Scott turned onto a small road leading out through the forest.
Before long, they came to a place where the countryside opened onto a broad field beside a small lake. Rows of vehicles were parked in the field, facing a large inflatable screen. Jackies expression was quizzical.
Scott had to laugh. I saw a flyer in Manitoulin today. I couldnt resist.
They drove through the gate and followed instructions to the next open space, where Scott backed in.
Youll never guess what theyre showing tonight, he said as he opened his door. Stay right there, Ill come around.
