Brenda and all, The dates for ALL Mayberry events can be found on the Event Calendar and you'll find that right on the front of http://iMayberry.com. That's THE resource for finding out about any Mayberry related event that TAGSRWC knows about. Click the Event Calendar link and away you go. To answer this particular question, here's what the Event Calendar says: Sept. 27-30: 23rd Annual Mayberry Days in Mount Airy, N.C. Stars confirmed so far are Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), Dean Webb (mandolin-playing Darlings boy), Maggie Peterson (Charlene Darling Wash), James Best (Jim Lindsey) for Thurs. and Fri. only, Peggy McCay (Sharon DeSpain), Morgan Brittany (Opie’s girlfriend, Mary Alice Carter), Jackie Joseph (Romeena), LeRoy McNees (of the Country Boys), George Spence (Frank the Fiancé), Margaret Kerry (Bess Muggins and Helen Scobey), Karen Knotts (daughter of Don Knotts) and George Lindsey Jr. (son of, well, obviously). With the sad passing on May 16 of Doug Dillard, the only performer to participate in all 22 previous Mayberry Days festivals, there’s a huge hole in the heart of the festival. Doug and his memory will be honored at this year’s festival. There will also be special salutes to George Lindsey. Mayberry Days will conclude with a celebration of music and praise, as fellow entertainers, friends, and fans remember and salute Andy Griffith and his legacy with a Hometown Tribute to Andy Griffith on Sunday morning from 9:30 a.m. till 11:00 a.m. at Blackmon Amphitheatre (Rockford & Spring Street, across from the Andy Griffith Playhouse in Mount Airy). Admission is free. Further details about Mayberry Days and more stars TBA. Tickets are now available to order for several parts of the festival. (And it’s not at all too early to book a hotel room.)
