Snowball Siege in Pikeville Ends in Comedy
In a western town near the foothills, a troupe led by Tommy Bagsby stages an odd snow removal stunt. They bid to clear Main Street with snowballs rolled downhill, using children to push them into place. The spectacle draws crowds, shovels snow into river edge piles, and earns about 600 dollars for the performers, enough to return to Broadway.
