Mayberry Days

[ctmidway58]

Looking for some good reports from fans who could go! My oncologist said to 
stay out of crowds and restaurants during this virus, so following his orders, 
I did. Had to stay home, but hopefully next year we get to use our Col. Tim's 
tickets!
Age is creeping up, and who knows just when our last time to go will be. We 
will go as long as health allows and enjoy seeing all the old friends we've 
made over the years. 
Sounds as if the Live Auction may be the thing of the future! That way nobody 
can outbid you at the last second so you can't counter-bid! YUP!! comes to 
mind!!
So,hopefully next year, we'll see all of you again. We will pass thru soon when 
we go to Fancy Gap and stay at Grassy Creek Cabooses. Sounds interesting!
Welford TheCameraNuttt and Carol, who's put up with me 56+ years!!

WBMUTBB Live Auction

[Jeff Koontz]

This year has been extra busy for me and I realized I didn't even send out a 
notice about the annual WBMUTBB Silent Auction during Mayberry Days. In order 
to be safer during the pandemic our chapter held a live auction at the Blackmon 
Amphitheatre. There is not much good to say about the current pandemic, but 
going from Silent Auction to Live Auction would go in that column. The live 
auction far exceeded my expectations and raised $2,907 in support of the Surry 
Arts Council for Mayberry Days.
Eric Lowery took command of the gavel and did an outstanding job as the 
auctioneer and I am grateful for his willingness to help with less than 24 hrs 
notice. Thank you also to Allan & Jan Newsome, Cory & Scott Higgins, James 
Pierce, Rebecca Spears, Dick Villard, Greta Hinson, Terri Champney, and the 
Surry Arts Council for the donation of time, talents and items for the auction. 
A special thanks to Dewey Lamb for earning a well deserved rest this year and 
still helping the cause with an extra autographed jug he had from last year.
Also, be sure to congratulate Eric as this year's winner of the Mayberry 
Friendship Award and Dewey Lamb as the recipient of this year's Jim Schwenke 
Award. Both well deserved for all they do to keep the Mayberry spirit alive. 
Jeff
