September 28, 1951 grand opening of the Yucca Drive-In Theatre in Gallup with “Canyon Passage.” If you were a big Bud & Lou fan, bad news – those two shows were actually rained out.

More rainout details. Gallup Independent, Sept. 29, 1951: “Gallup’s new drive-in theater, the Yucca, opened to a capacity crowd last night, but the weather man stepped in to cancel tonight’s billing. Manager Bruce Waugh said the access road to the Yucca, leading in from Highway 66 west of town, has not yet been surfaced, and the night-long rainfall left the possibility that the road would be too rough for an audience this evening. With prospect of good weather tomorrow, Waugh said the theater would again be open to the public”
