Mayberry Days Updates
Things are shaping up for another great festival in Mount Airy this year and I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. If you've never been to Mayberry Days take advantage of excellent weather (according to Calvin Coolidge) and come to Mount Airy this weekend. Legitimate concern about the availability of gas, but my observation is companies that own their tanker trucks do have gas so truck stops like Pilot/Flying J and the like are good. Smaller convenient stores that rely on contract trucks to deliver their gas run out until the next delivery. Don't panic, but don't let the gauge go to E before filling up (insert Gomer's quote here). Most of all, travel safely and be an example to your friends and family and don't use your phone while driving. One change to the line up with Rodney and Beverly Dillard leading the Sunday Chapel with their Mayberry Values service at the Blackmon Amphitheatre. Tickets to all shows are still available by calling SAC at 336.786.7998 but many are nearly sold out. Tickets to MD17 are also available if you want to get good seats next year. Don't forget about the WBMUTBB Silent Auction on Saturday. Thank you to those who have reached out to me about your donations. We've got some great items again this year. Please stop by on Saturday after the parade in front of the Playhouse and say hey. It's BIG!

Mayberry Days Updates
The Surry Arts Council is pleased to announce that Peggy McKay will be returning to Mayberry Days again this year. The new addition to the festival line up is BIG! Roland White and his band will be featured in Friday night's Doug Dillard Memorial Concert. Roland, along with LeRoy McNees, were part of The Country Boys who performed in the episodes Mayberry on Record and Quiet Sam. Roland has been a part of bluegrass music ever since and will be a great addition to Mayberry Days this year. Only one evening show is scheduled, so get your tickets now before it sells out.

Mayberry Days Updates
Ronnie Schell is schedule to return to Mayberry Days this year adding to the list of Special Guests. He was Bernie the Furrier and Jim Martin the Director in two episodes of TAGS and then Duke Slater in Gomer Pyle, USMC. He is not headlining a show this time, but will certainly bring the laughs to numerous events and be available for autographs and photographs. Tickets are selling well again this year, so I'll encourage you to purchase yours sooner than later so you don't miss out on shows that usually sell out. Also, tickets for select shows of the 2013 festival will be available online starting Sept 21st and at the Andy Griffith Playhouse/Information Tent during the festival.
