Correction
I prefer to think of Gomer as refreshingly na?ve and charmingly ingenuous. I typed that as naive, but the i with the double dots over it was converted to a question mark in the digest.

Mayberry Days
I'll have to join the previous posts because Mayberry Days was another great weekend for me and Claire. TAGS guest stars, tribute artists, Grascals, Mayberry's Finest, a pork chop sandwich, ice cream at Mayberry on Main, seeing friends and having fun. The Silent Auction was another success with $2267 raised this year. We had some great items again and I do appreciate everyone who donated something, spent time helping, stopped by to see our items and bid. We've got a start on the supply for next year, so be thinking of fun things and consider helping us out in the future. All the money goes to the Surry Arts Council to help with the festival and the high bidders get to take some great things back with them. Where else but Mayberry Days are you going to have the chance to get Betty Lynn's hat, a Mayberry CSI T-shirt or a hand made TAGS Keepsake box?

Question about tribute artists..
Being a fairly new subscriber to this mailing list, I have noticed several references to tribute artists. Is there an already established Briscoe Darling devotee? I have a video resume' ready to submit - if I knew how to contact the correct committee.

Mayberry Days
It was great hearing about Mayberry Days. I am still trying to get to my 1st onenext year I hope.

Trivia questions
What were the tie breaking questions in the trivia contest this year that Pat and Dennis both answered correctly? Anyone know? I wasn't able to go to Mayberry Days but when we went in '04, the trivia contest was lots of fun. Pat won that year, too. I am hoping to go in '08 for our 30th wedding anniversary on Sept. 30th. Will have to see about someone to care for our two dogs, two cats, and three horses. Very hard to get away. Plus, I have my own business and no employees and I have to close up to go, which I never do. But, after 30 yrs. of marriage don't I deserve it? Let it never be said that Bernard P. Fife ever let down Eleonora Poutice!

The Days
We are back!! What a grand time! About the same size crowd as usual, and everyone in a Mayberry frame of mind! We arrived Thursday and first stop was Snappy Lunch for the Pork Chop Sammich!! WOW!! If you have never had one, make a special trip to get one but get there before 2 as they close at 2, I believe that is correct. Breakfast is served until about 10:30 and then the pork chops are cooked. Charles Dowell doesn't cook any more, but he still does an excellent job greeting the customers, just as he has for so long. What a great gentleman!! After eating, we went over to Mayberry on Main and even though it is a small store, it is one of the friendliest I have been in and they make a great cup of coffee! It was there we met up with Bobby and Kyle Butler from Fla'da, whom so many of you know. We made our way up to the Emporium where by then it was time for some ice cream, so I had a bowl and Carol had a cone of some mighty fine cold dessert! After looking thru the things in the museum of show artifacts plus old Andy movie posters, his childhood slingshot, etc., we made our way thru the 3 floors of the Emporium and then did our annual walk thru of the Goodwill store, and I am sure you will be glad to know barber Russell Hiatt shops there as well!! We went on back to Main St., went into a couple more stores, stopped at te Post Office for my annual postmarks, then went ot the Hampton Inn to check in. After resting a while we walked over to the China buffet next door. Friday we ate at Biscuitville, also next door to the hotel, and went on downtown and got us a parking space and got ready for the Mayor's Proclamation declaring Mayberry Days open for business!! After that we went to the theater for some of the old shows with a QA session afterwards with the star of the show. LeRoy McNees was the first one, then George Spence, then David Morris, son of Howard. David is known now as Jr. T. Bass or Ernest 2 Bass, whichever you prefer. He has really gotten into the swing of things and enjoys himself greatly! We left there about 3:30 and went up the street to Barney's for a fantastic chicken sandwich, then back to the Amphitheater for the trivia contest. Two of the contestants tied for first place: Pat Bullins and Dennis Beale. In case of a tie, they had a series of three questions to ask each one privately to determine a winner, and they were extremely hard questions! To the amazement of everyone, they both answered the questions, so they had to declare a double champion! Pat was given the trophy and Dennis will get his later as another one is being made! When this was over we retreated to the hotel to get baths and rest a while before going to the 9:30 show with Michael Hoover and Memories of Elvis . What a great show he puts on, and what a gentleman as well!! My goodness, it was fun! That lasted until about 11:20, and then we went back to the hotel where LeRoy Mack, Ken Sullivan, Jeff Howard Branch and a fiddler were having their annual jam session in the hospitality room. That lasted until about 1 AM!! Saturday we were all sleepy eyed as we arose and got ready for the parade. Weather was very cool, some folks wearing sweaters or jackets, but it warmed quickly, and at 9 the parade started. Guest of honor for this Mayberry Days, Betty Lynn, was Grand Marshal and rode the lead car. I think Mt. Airy living has done her a world of good! She looks like she is enjoying life to its fullest and has more energy than before! David Browning, The Mayberry Deputy and Floydwhoever the guy is who plays that part...had a ball on the Sheriff's Dept. golf cart, with red light and siren and it looks like they ran it thru Richard Petty's speed shop! That thing was flying up and down the street!! Allan, we are glad he didn't dump you like he did last year! There were Otis, Howard, Flora, Opie, Goober, and a newcomer Gomer...sorry Gomer, but I can't remember the name you get your paycheck under so Gomer will have to do for now. But he sounds exactly like Gomer! After the Parade, I got my LP out of the car along with my little statuette and went to the playhouse. The LP went on the table for the silent auction and went for $9. It was Finian's Rainbow starring Jeannie Carson, Howard Morris and Sorrell Booke(Boss Hogg). After I got that to the table I got in line to have my statuette autographed by James Best. When my turn finally came, I held out the statuette for his autograph and he threw his head back and let out a good laugh to see a hog, dressed in a white suit with string necktie and holding a cigaryes, Boss Hogg!! He signed it across the stomach so my Boss Hogg now has the signature of Rosco P. Coltrane, James Best!! Next year I will take him a photograph of Boss for his own!! We also had a bowl of the hit and miss engine made ice cream, and an hour later one of the barbecue sandwiches from the
Re: Plain Enough Suit
Hey Ya'll, I believe the episode was High Noon In Mayberry when Luke Comstock was going to settle things with Andy. Gomer wore the suit on the night he and Otis were Andy's body guards at his house. OH Goober danced in that suit at Howards little Party at his new pad. I remember the pants legs when they shot the shoes dancing Helen into a physical wreck. I love the show...I rarely watch regular TV.just a select few shows. Most of the time I am in the most peaceful, friendly, place called Mayberry. Ya'll take care, Cay Blonde!
