The newest fast food drive-in restaurant in Elsa opened Thursday, October 27th to celebrate the SONIC Elsa ribbon cutting ceremony which was planned with free activities, music and food. Then, on Friday, the drive-in started its first full-day of welcoming guests at 7 a.m. at 403 S Broadway St. in Elsa.
