Mayberry's Fourth of July Celebration
Well Folks it is Independence Day weekend in Mayberry and the town is all ready to celebrate. The parade is about ready to proceed down Main Street. Leading the way of course will be the Mayberry Band playing Stars and Stripes. They will be followed by the Mayberry squad car driven by Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife. Next comes Miss Mayberry riding in an open convertible wearing a stars and stripes bathing suit with lit sparklers in her hair. Following Miss Mayberry comes Ernest T. Bass who reaches into his pouch and starts throwing rock candy to the kids along the parade route. Only fitting, the Darling Family follows in their truck with the boys singing Dooley. A short distance behind the Darlings comes old Regis carrying a sign protesting the gold standard. Now no parade would be complete without the politicians, so next comes Mayberry's own fat little mayor, Mayor Pike along with his daughter Juanita. Orville Monroe comes next with his shiny black hearse loaded up with all the old dead batteries he has collected around town. Walker's drugstore comes next with Miss Ellie riding in a convertible with a big container of ice cream in one hand and a bottle of root beer in the other. She is of course is "The Root Beer Float". The woman's church group is next riding on a hay wagon pulled by Jeff Pruitt on his tractor. Aunt Bea is at the piano singing "Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye" while the other ladies are singing along and banging on dishpans. Old Hutch and Jimmy the Goat are following the church ladies and they are followed by Otis Campbell riding a cow. Right behind Otis comes Skippy and Daphne in their sporty old convertible. Goober is next with his old truck and in the back are a bunch of Mayberry kids all who have their bare feet sticking up in the air. On the door is a sign that says "Goober's Toe Truck". The final entry in the parade comes into view and it is Floyd Lawson and Mr. Foley sitting in rocking chairs shaking hands. A sign on their vehicle says "Mayberry, the Friendly Town". Oh what a sight it was to behold. The parade lasted over 15 minutes. But the day has just begun in Mayberry. After the parade everyone will be heading to the town picnic. At three o'clock Mayor Pike will make a speech and Goober and Gomer will be shooting off the old cannon. After dark the day's events will conclude with a gigantic fireworks display out at Meyer's Lake. Barney is in charge of the fireworks. I have a feeling that is when the excitement will really begin.

Ken's Parade
Ken, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your Mayberry/July 4 post.In my opinion,this is by far your best digest contribution.You are quite the wordsmith.I caught myself scrambling to catch a piece of candy from Ernest T,watching Charlene & her kin aboard their truck,listening to the little fat mayor ramble on as he waved to the crowd.Lest I forget Aunt Bee pumping out her rendition of Toot Toot Tootsie...yeah,she was probably gassed. Through your description,one could see,hear,and feel the excitement as the parade made it's way down Main Street.Wonderful literary piece I wish each and everyone a fun and safe July 4.

Cell Door Keys
I noticed the other day that when Andy returned from Raleigh and had left Barney in charge of the office, Barney had arrested practically everybody in town and when they went to let the folks out of the two cells, there were miraculously, two key rings. In every other episode I recall there was only one key ring, locking people in by mistake or whatever. Where did the extra key ring come from? Hmmm. Mysteries of Mayberry!!

Independence Day in Mayberry
Now, honestly, I thought I'd heard everything. I mean some people just can't sing. I should know I'm one of 'em. But I don't try singing in public unless there's a crowd and I can try blending in. But, today, at the picnic, just before Rev Tucker blessed the food and we sat down to eat I had the privilege of hearing Juanita Pike sing "God Bless America". Whoo-eee was that a long song. Let's just say she's no Kate Smith. Thankfully, the good reverend had a short prayer & we all sat down to eat. Aunt Bee your baked beans were delicious as was Thelma Lou's potato salad, & Helen Crump's cole slaw . Andy, you and the Regal Order of the Golden Door to Good Fellowship. did a great job on the bbq burgers and hot dogs. No idea who made the Applesauce cake but it was delicious. Clara Edwards, I so enjoyed your homemade pickles on my hamburger. I was able to get one of the homemade burger buns made by Mrs. Wiley, Mrs. Rev. Foley, & Emma Watson and they were delicious. I understand special thanks go out to Foley's Market & Norman's Groceteria who donated the ground beef & wiener dogs that the lodge bros. bbq'ed. Thanks going out as well to Orville Monroe who donated a TV set that was given as a door prize & ol Ben Weaver who donated some stuff, too. I didn't win but it was fun anyhow. Great time was had by all & I look forward to the next great Mayberry day Marie ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
