mayberry days ticket tent

Our family arrived in Mt. Airy early Fri. morning. I grabbed my granddaughter by the hand and hurried to the ticket tent to get our tickets. I was already feeling the "Mayberry Mood" and wanted to impress her with my Mayberry knowledge. The lady in the tent was very professional and greeted me w

Hey Mayberry Friends. I saw "Tied up in Knotts" in Mt. Airy at Mayberry Days this past year. I hope she returns next time because it was so entertaining. She provides insight into her father not only as Barney Fife, but as an accomplished actor, comedian, father and husband. She shares memories,

Andy Griffith

Hey, Mayberry friends. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether we could see or hear something from Andy himself during Mayberry Days this year? The 50th anniversary celebration would be a great time for him to acknowledge his dedicated followers. Larry in Lincolnton __

published e-mails

Hey, Mayberry friends. On the podcast this week, Allan stated that our e-mails to him have now been published. I guess this means that I am now a professional e-mailer and can no longer e-mail with the amateur ranks. I have been remunerated for my talent. But, it could be a blessing in disguise.

Hey Mayberry Friends. I know Andy doesn't get romantic as often as Barn' but we can't forget the kiss Andy and Sharon Despain shared in the garden in "Class Reunion". Now that was a kiss! "The tears on my pillow bespeak the pain that is in my heart"Barney Larry in Lincolnton ___
