Hillbillies enjoy TV watching New York Yankees drop their big apple - - with nary a mule in sight to fight over it (Ricky Pittman, host Mickey Brigance, John & Anne Sill)

Guess the old adage is true that "The Couple That Coon-Hunts Together Stays Together" (new PTAH members Barbara & David Benstein)

PTAH Royalty 2000 proudly show their Hillbilly Roots (King Paul Taylor, Queen Pam Pittman, Chairman Russ Gilpatrick)

Tommy gets all lickered up on moonshine & is goaded into performing the infamous 'Schutt Shimmy' (previously witnessed only by family members)

Articles of clothing fall to the dance-floor as the crowd holds its breath:  "Whoa, Tommy!  The song's saying "You can LEAVE your hat on . . . . "

Proving he really can "Shimmy like his sister Kate" . . . just don't give him cash- - he'll only take off more!!!

PHOTO CENSORED!!!

Appreciative wife Darlene after Tommy's act brings down the out-house.  His folks have got to be so proud!

Mickey's wife Pam Pittman encourages him all night to leave his day job for full-time Karaoke.

 "Gee, those sax lessons paid off, Ma!"  . . . Jim Searcy mocking his musical idol, Boots "Yakety Sax" Randolph

Just like that rapper Will Smith might say, "Let's Get Jiggy With It" - - - David Benstein, Donna Gilpatrick, Paul Taylor & Pam Pittman do as they celebrate the New Year

Tommy Pollard (with Kathy Bacherig) proves once again that an ORANGE hat is versatile enough to wear to the UT game Saturday, hunting on Sunday, & to his job picking up trash for the County on Monday

SO . . . . . Here's to the New Year 2001:  

What better way to ring in the New Year than with 40 or 50 of your closest  Hillbilly Buddies from PTAH?  David & Barbara Benstein, Pam Pittman, Paul & Phyllis Taylor, and Susie Person.   It don't get no better than this!

Crowd-pleasers Susie Person & Beth Almond close out the evening and perform their ever-popular "Anne Murray & Donna Fargo Tribute"

The sun's coming up - - guess it's time to find our shoes and stumble home (Ron & Cindy Schneider with Russ Gilpatrick)

Being a hillbilly's hard work - - - especially when your life's literally "in the toilet" - - - "Plunger Boy" Jim Searcy catches some zzzzzz's

Good-hearted Almonds (Beth & Chairman Randy) tidy the kitchen before calling it a night & starting the "hillbilly dishwasher" (bringing in the dawgs)
