My wife and I attended Mayberry Days 2012 for the ninth consecutive year.As usual,I saw several Mayberry folk from years past,and met a slew of new ones.Met a very nice couple from California.Also saw where someone signed a registery at a local eatery...that person was from South Africa.Now that is loving some Mayberry! There were some really nice items at the silent auction.Jeff Koontz does a super job of managing that portion of the festival.He does a lot of behind the scenes work.There was an influx of new folks donating items. I asked Jackie Joseph about the stump she and Ernest T jumped over.I was wondering if the stump was real or a tv prop.She said it was a real stump.She said the first time she attempted to jump it that the back of her skirt caught the stump and she landed face first on the ground.She collected herself like a real trooper and nailed it on the next take. George Spence,Maggie Petersen Mancusso,James Best,and Jackie Joseph stayed at the same motel as we did. Super nice people. The trivia contest was nothing but pure cut-throat.I got two out of twenty correct.May not sound like much,but I was elated considering the difficulty of the questions. Am so looking forward to MD 2013.
