McNairy County’s Hee Haw Show has been honored with the Sapphire Award by the American Cancer Society for their outstanding contribution to the fight against cancer.
The Hee Haw Show was started in 1987 and has run continuously since then to help raise funds to battle cancer. Mr. George Souders, a popular McNairy County teacher, directed the very first show and there’s been no stopping them since.
The show raised over $20,000 for the American Cancer Society this year and is consistently one of West Tennessee’s largest fundraisers.
Many cast members have been in almost every show, including Joe Dan Maness, Randy Fowler, Kaye Tacker, Dwight and Freda Locke, Amelia Young, and Brian Dickey.
The family of Dorothy King, including Johnny B. and Wilma Dunaway, and Shirley Moore, have provided refreshments for every show. Dorothy lost her battle with cancer in 1996, but her family continues to honor her by continuing the tradition that she started.
Please come out this March and help show your appreciation to this cast and crew for their many contributions to this battle against cancer.
