The Hillbilly Hoedown was a great success! Our decorations included a clothesline with long johns and flannel shirts hanging in the breeze, feed sacks, old tires, torches, and an aluminum can garland. We duct-taped newspapers to the tables to serve as tablecloths and centerpieces were quart jars holding a tea-light candle. Most everyone who came was in overalls, flannels, tattered britches, patches, and straw hats. It was quite a sight. We threw our tin foil dinners on the coals and ate wedges of watermelon and our own brew of "moonshine" root beer. We made burlap feed sacks that were filled with chex mix, pretzels, and tortilla chips as appetizers. We ate from aluminum pie plates and drank from pint canning jars. For dessert we roasted marshmallows over the hot coals and made s'mores. We listened to old-time mountain music throughout the evening, played hillbilly horseshoes (with toilet seats), had a pig-calling contest and a pie-eating contest. We told a few back-hills jokes and we had some Beverly Hillbillies and Li'l Abner trivia questions for the crowd. Our Bishopric comprised a Hillbilly band who lip-synced a rousing rendition of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts with audience participation. Everyone had a grand time!
