This was a spot that most of us decided to play. Most  every day it was windy and the dust from copper mine slag would blow down into the circus arena. The white dirt and slag you can see at the top left of photo. In spite of the dirt dust and wind the people of Claypool knew the conditions and made up for it with their support of the show and were appreciative. Each night we had a good crowd and we made a little money. Photo 1950.
