The cars were parked everywhere, and about 45 minutes before the show started I peeked out the curtain, and it was packed. They were bringing chairs in, people were sitting in the aisles. I looked over the stage, and people were right there in front. And they were standing all along the sides and in the back, and we had to turn away about 250 people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morgancountyusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hee-haw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4193\" src=\"https:\/\/morgancountyusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hee-haw-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/morgancountyusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hee-haw-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/morgancountyusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hee-haw-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/morgancountyusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hee-haw-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/morgancountyusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hee-haw.jpg 1275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s 450 jammed inside the Hancock Community Center.

High Street in Hancock, Maryland. Doors open at 1 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no tickets for the event, although donations are encouraged at the door. Ward says that the Arts Council raised more money at the July 26 event than they have raised at any other event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ward anticipates another capacity crowd. She recommends that if you want to get in, come early.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July, the Hancock Arts Council presented a revival of the Hee Haw television show, featuring local musicians playing music from a string of greats like Hank Williams, Roy Acuff and Buck Owens.
