Show Overview: In this hilarious, fast-paced comedy, the inhabitants of one of the smallest trailer parks in Texas—four doublewides and a shed—are thrown for a loop when they realize the nearby town of Tugaloo is determined to annex them. And it’s not as if they don’t already have enough to deal with. Baby Crumpler is being forced into participating in his first womanless beauty pageant, Georgia Dean Rudd is taking in every stray cat, possum, and human she sees, and Big Ethel is continually frustrated by her clients at Stairway to Heaven retirement village. Throw in a few more characters and the curmudgeonly neighbor Haywood Sloggett, and you’ve got the ingredients for another whopper of a funny story from Jones Hope Wooten.
