There is a lot going on in this picture. May Barstow looks on with envy as Howard Banks draws a crowd. However, it is really oldtime storyteller/ magician Gil Hedges that has attracted the attention with his trick of turning glass into porcelain. Mid Norris refuses to wait for Howard to get his stock out from under the table. Terry Drollinger (red shirt) and Don Hardesty watch GIl's performance, as Bob Jackson berates poor Marcia Hardesty who holds her head down in shame. Bill Burger seems to be taking issue with a few of Gil's tactics, and Jim Cunningham, in classic form, is caught looking in the entirely opposite direction and muttering something about cows.
