I Went there several times. One Saturday Night,(1982) I camped out at a pull off just up the road from Tombstone. Sunday morning,the roaring of diesel engines woke me up and it was Conway Twitty's Tour bus coming down the hill.He put on a great show. Leather & Lace was the warm up band. Last time i was there, George Jones pulled a no show,but still had a good time. Great memories. If I had the money I would open that place back up. Does anyone remember Billy Thunder Cloud?Jessie Darrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479084653595377161.post-33748019804708445192011-03-21T19:31:30.304-04:002011-03-21T19:31:30.304-04:00@ Logan

The one he talks about the most is magician Lance Burton. <br /><br />My mom worked in the ticket booth. <br /><br />OH the stories they can tell.onceuponasunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920163244484926190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479084653595377161.post-89613758254882739762011-03-20T21:32:08.788-04:002011-03-20T21:32:08.788-04:00Are there any plans to do anything with the proper...Are there any plans to do anything with the property?

I don't remember his name now, but I carpooled from Stearns with the man who played the undertaker in the gunfight shows. Really enjoyed the music shows and loved eating lunch at the Red Garter Saloon.It was a fun time.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575519934789615669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479084653595377161.post-82447578217285112202008-09-25T16:56:00.000-04:002008-09-25T16:56:00.000-04:00I loved this place as a kid.

I remember that one time they had Spider-Man at Tombstone Junction, and I got to hang out with him quite a bit. I remember him wearing a cap that I bought at one of the frontier stores, posing with him in a period picture (which I wish I still had), being on the train, and fighting the bandits around the saloon. Pretty good old memories.<BR/><BR/> I still wish there was a place nearby to go experience the smells of those types of trains -- The Old West style ones -- today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
