These are the central characters of the story and we will begin next week with the Raleigh’s getting banned from their trailer park in Possum Flats, N.C. because Grunt has eaten the manager’s beloved Yorkiepoo.
Sadly this is a common occurrence for the Raleighs, and they long for a place where they are amongst their own kind.
After extracting their vengeance, they flee to Croaksdale, N.C. It seems to call to them. welcoming the Raleighs home.
And thus the adventure begins. Join me next Wednesday as the Raleighs meet their neighbors.
