On Saturday night July 9th, 11 people from Collins, Mississippi were in the audience to see Steel Magnolias. Among them was Delta Burke's husband's (Gerald McRaney) Aunt Ruth. Gerald and Delta visit Collins often and even have their own furniture store there, called Gerald and Delta's Imports "The Best Little Warehouse in Mississippi." After the performance, Aunt Ruth and her friends presented Delta with a cooler of Ruth's famous Chicken Spaghetti.
