Default Tent Revivals

Some of you may remember the OLD TENT REVIVALS of the 30's, 40's and 50's. I KNOW that I do.
Thought this may be of interest to some.May want to take a look and see if some of these were in your area. FANTASTIC places to look for Silver.

places that old tent revivals were set up - Google Search

Great idea Pappy. Sites where they held old political fundraisers and such would be good also. The ones I am thinking of are like the old western outdoor parties that those running for an elected office would have, or maybe I have been reading too many historical books

I'll be looking into this as well. Thanks Pappy! I can remember attending these revivals myself back in the 60's/70's so they were popular back then as well.

Default Hey creek

From what I remember about that country there aint much ground flat enough for a tent of any size, maybe a pup tent!! I'd bet what once had a tent revival is now covered with a slate dump or a mobile home. It'd be tough down there finding good spots I'd think, I'm now out west,and we can see storm clouds coming for about 50-100 miles
