Minter Field

The slideshow on the sidebar is provided by Google. It searches for images tagged "Shafter." Pictures from the air show at Minter Field are currently dominating, so I thought now would be a good time to post a link to this story about a basketball league in the early days of Minter Field.  I found this recently on a blog about the history of Shafter High basketball.  It adds some perspective on how World War II impacted the lives of ordinary people in Shafter.
