The 8th annual Mayberry Meet-up was held in Mt. Airy, NC the weekend of 17-19 July 2020. There were 75+ in attendance and there were challenges to be able to gather because of the covid-19 virus situation but we did meet. Folks “social distanced” and even wore mask when needed. Anything to get just a few days together in Mayberry.

This episode is a report about the goings on that occurred during the weekend.

During this episode we’ll hear from “Floyd the barber” with his reading of the Mayberry Gazette that we like to call “Floyd’s Barber Shop News.” Floyd lets us drop by the barber shop and sit out front with him as he waits on customers to come along while he reads the paper. Headline include “Town Picnic Goes Batty,” “Dr. Breen’s Sermon topic this Week,” “Potato Salad Shortage Reported in Mayberry,” and more.

After Randy’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History featuring “Keith Andes,” I’ll finish up by talking about the Mayberry Meet-up 2020 with a few details about the event.

In 2001 the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN had it’s first Mayberry event with Don Knott, George Lindsey, Betty Lynn, Howard Morris, Maggie Peterson, Bernard Fox, and the Dillards. I was so lucky to have been not only to attend but to perform as “Floyd the barber” along with these amazing people.

Having performed since 1994 as Floyd, I realized I really didn’t have autographs from most of the cast members so I asked my wonderful wife to take my hardcover Mayberry Memories book and get as many autographs from the Mayberry folks as she could. She was worried something might happen to the book but I told her, “I know you won’t let me down” because I knew she would take care of the book at least as good as I would, if not better.

Listen for the rest of the story.

The Andy Griffith Show is my television show of all time. The 249 episodes were aired over eight seasons (1960-1968). It was created by Sheldon Leonard with help/suggestions from Andy Griffith, who starred as Sheriff Andy Taylor. Sheriff Taylor is a widower with a son named Opie, played by Ron Howard.

The Andy Griffith Show never ranked lower than 7th among all television programs during its run. It was ranked #1 in its final season and one of only three shows to ever go out on top (I love Lucy and Seinfeld being the other two).

Let’s see if we can capture some of that peaceful, easy feeling that The Andy Griffith Show promises.

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring part 2 of “Ross Elliott.”

How much do you know about Andy Griffith, the man? Did you know he has a theater named after him in his home town of Mt. Airy, NC? If you’ve been to Mayberry Days you likely did know about that but I bet there are many details you might not know.

This episode we’ll learn about Andy’s boyhood school, his best friend and so much more as Two Chairs correspondent Jeff Koontz provides amazing details. He goes from Andy’s time in elementary school all the way to the present with fun facts that I know you’re going to enjoy. He even provides information about some seats that you may want to make your own. (Contact arts@surryarts.org with offers if you’re interested.)

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Ross Elliott.”
