PERRYVILLE, Mo. -- The annual Perry County hoe-down, "Hee-Haw Apple Creek Style," will take place this weekend.
Performances will include live music from Cornfield Kneeslappers and the Country Crooners, and comedy acts, said organizer Ray Sauer.
"It's very similar to the original 'Hee-Haw'" television show, he said. "We use a lot of the same characters."
Performances will be at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Perry Park Center.
The event began as a benefit for St. Joseph Parish school in Apple Creek, Mo., after it burned down in 1979. The school closed in 2002. Now the event provides tuition for Apple Creek students enrolled in religious schools in Perry County.
For ticket information, call the Perry Park Center at (573) 547-7275.
