Even though I am a lifelong fan of the show, I had never been to Mayberry Days. Now I understand what all the excitement is about! We just returned from our first-ever Mayberry Days, and let me tell you, it was awesome! I can hardly wait for next year. The first person I saw was Allan Newsome (Floyd) who ushered us into the proclamation ceremony and it was fantastic!
The outdoor worship service in the amphitheater Sunday was a really sweet time led by our new friends, Jan and Leroy McNees (whom we had met a few days earlier at LifeWay's Life Lessons From Mayberry event outside Asheville). We loved worshipping with the stars (Maggie Peterson Mancuso and Margaret Kerry, for example), the "impostenators," and the fans. Everybody we encountered--from the merchants to the visitors to the local police were kind and helpful and friendly. There really is a Mayberry spirit that comes over you and you just don't ever want to leave. It has been hard to come back to reality and it is also difficult to explain "Mayberry Days" to anybody else. You just have to experience it once and you're hooked. "Mayberry says 'thanks and happy motoring'!"
