During the war, the ladies of Patapsco would put on plays at the "Red Man's Hall" (which is now the Patapsco UMC Hall), and the money they made went to the Patapsco service man. They were known as the "Patapsco Players" and also the "Turkey Hollow Gang". Their skits remained popular after the war and they continued their plays into the 50's.
*** If anybody has photos of the Turkey Hollow Gang, please add them in the comments! ***
