I was reading the posts about the 2023 Mayberry Days event that just wrapped up this past weekend and came across an essay written by Mayberry fan Rebecca Spears. Rebecca is in the Two Chairs No Waiting chat room most Monday nights as “Lydia” so I was quick to ask her if I could share her words with you all. She did a great job answering the question “what’s Mayberry Days like?” and I think it will help you understand a bit more why I’m always asking folks to consider coming to Mayberry Days or one of the other amazing Mayberry events held each year.
Thank you to Rebecca for allowing me to put voice to the words she penned.
I would like to HEAR from you about your experience(s) at Mayberry Days. I plan to do an overarching Mayberry Days report next episode but I really want to hear your report. Please consider calling in or emailing me an audio or video file about your time in “Mayberry.” You can call 888-684-8415 (2 minutes or less), click the “Leave a Voicemail” link on the right side of TwoChairsNoWaiting.com, or record on your phone and email the file to me.
This episode will wrap up by asking 12 fairly easy Mayberry trivia questions…one of which you really can’t miss.
Thank you to the folks that attended the Mayberry Meet-up 2023 for your support of the podcast!

I have folks ask me all the time how much time the tribute artists spend rehearsing the skits/shows we put on at events like Mayberry Days. I thought I’d take an episode to talk about that topic and let you all know that, well, we don’t get to rehearse at all. What you see is the tribute artists just stepping up and improving our way through scenes from The Andy Griffith Show and most of the time it’s with almost zero time to even walk through the scene.
I’ll explain that and give you an example of a skit we did back in 1995 that was the VERY first time we’d even tried to do it. It was done in front of a live audience at Col Tim’s at Mayberry Days 1995.
I have a couple of voicemails we’ll address and then we’ll wrap things up by playing some easy Mayberry trivia.

Last episode we heard from some of you about your Mayberry Days 2022 experiences. I thought I’d tell you my story from “Floyd” perspective. Mayberry Days is always special and the the things I experience always leave a mark on me. The wonderful people I meet as well as working with my fellow tribute artist always results in memories that I cherish.
As I head into my 14th year of podcasting, the memories of events and fellow fans always give me something to think back upon and they make Mayberry “real” in my life.
We’ll play some trivia and hear from SpiritWalker with his Returning to Mayberry report.

Mayberry Day 2022 has come and gone but the memories created during the event will live long in the hearts of those who were able to attend. We’ll hear reports from a few folks about their experience during Mayberry Days and we’ll even get one video report this week. If you missed last weeks podcast, we had a great report from a listener in that episode, too so go back and check it out.
This episode of Two Chairs marks the 14 year mark for the podcast. It began on October 11, 2008 and now, 706 episodes later, we still have fun talking Mayberry. What a blessing this 62 year old television series has been in my life.
We’ll hear from SpiritWalker with his Returning to Mayberry report.

Folks are always asking me “what should I do at Mayberry Days?” I can’t answer each person individually so here’s an episode that should help you think about what you might want to do during Mayberry Days.
Each person would have their own things they would be excited about during Mayberry Days so I’ll give you a run down of what’s happening during Mayberry Days 2022 and hopefully it will help you, at least a little, even if you’re planning to attend a future Mayberry Days in Mt. Air, NC.
A quick note, visiting MayberryDays.com is the best resource for planning your adventure and it’s updated each year so you’ll always have the best information.
We’re going to play some trivia that was sent in by Two Chairs listener/viewer, Lorie. A big thank you to Lorie for these fun questions. If you’d like to send in trivia, email them to floyd@imayberry.com but please make sure your answers are correct, like Lorie did.
We’ll wrap up with SpiritWalker and his “Returning to Mayberry” segment as he completes a chain of connection between episodes for season one.
