Entertainments of Barstow and Hinkley?? I grew up in Barstow and probably knew some of your relatives. My first paying job when I was still in high school was at Calico where I was a guide for the haunted house. At that time (1963) Calico had been taken over by Knotts Berry Farm. I can remember Calico before the Knotts takeover.

Oh yes, in Barstow a great thing to do was to walk down to the railroad tracks and flatten pennies. Then there was a little cafe downtown that made great chocolate malteds. If you didn't want to do that you could hang out at the drive-in burger placeand check out the various hot rods and drag racers coming in, or go swimming at the public pool. If it was really really hot you might go to the afternoon matinee at the movie theater, just to cool down.
