Last Few Days of The Clova

If you're thinking to catch one final show at Cloverdale's Clova Theatre, you only have a few days left. If you're like me and you still have a few stamps left on your "the what you want" pack, pay it forward and give the people behind you in the line a free night at the movies.


This week the shows are Tammy playing at 7pm and Jersey Boys at 8:55pm playing until Thursday July 31, 2014. Admission is $8, stay for one or both movies.


On Friday August 1, 2014, the Clova is playing The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the last time at 9:30pm. Admission is $10.


On August 2, 2014 the Clova is once again hosting their version of The Amazing Race. Register at noon for $10 each. Car is needed this year.


Later on August 2, catch a live act at the Clova: ABRA Cadabra! A tribute to the popular 70's group ABBA. Starts at 7:30pm and tickets are $30 each.


On Sunday, August 3 at 1:30pm the Clova will be holding an auction. Your last chance to get some Clova memorabilia.


The Clova opened in 1948. I went to many Saturday matinees here when I was growing up. Saw just about every Disney movie and cartoon of the time. This was also where I first saw Star Wars. The line up for that went down the street, around the Clover Inn (now Henry's) and down 57th Avenue!


If we want to watch a movie we'll have to leave Cloverdale and head to Langley or other parts of Surrey.


Goodbye Clova. We'll miss watching movies here and seeing the marquee lit up at night.
