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.)  For updates, visit http://www.mayberrydays.org.  It’s big!!!
