We had some feedback last week that I didn’t cover and one in particular influenced this entire episode.
The first bit of feedback, I think I did cover last week but we like re-runs around here so….I’ll do it again.
The second bit of feedback is from an anonymous caller talking about Otis Campbell Day in Nashville, TN. We’ll hear from him and I’ll clear up a few things he mentions then we’ll go and hear a full report on the Otis Campbell Day event from the April 13, 1988 edition of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watcher Club newsletter, The Bullet.
We’ll wrap things up by playing some Otis related multiple choice Mayberry trivia questions.

In this season five, “The Andy Griffith Show” episode entitled, ‘Otis Sues The County,’ which originally aired December 28, 1964, Otis has his day in court!
On episode #573 and #574 we heard a great interview with Maggie “Charlene” Peterson that was recorded in 2019 in Calhoun, GA at the “A Touch of Mayberry” event. As part of that event, tribute artists for Otis Campbell and Floyd the barber were there to warm up the crowd and keep things going.
This episode we get to here from Otis (Kenneth Junkin) and Floyd (Allan Newsome) live on stage entertaining. They tell several Mayberry related stories I know you’ll enjoy.
Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Mayberry in color.”

In late January 2014 The Andy Griffith Show cast member and all around great guy, LeRoy Mack performed for a packed house at the Zion Community Center near Gordo, AL. The community center is an old two room school house that now acts as the gathering place for family reunions and special events. LeRoy agreed to perform for an evening event in order to raise money for the center to be able to pay their insurance bills and whatnot.
What does that have to do with the Floyd & Otis at Zion title of this episode? We’ll, I’m glad you asked! LeRoy was joined by Ken “Otis” Junkin (who actually attended Zion when it was still a school) and Allan “Floyd” Newsome (your host) for the evening and it was a fun night, let me tell you.
I can’t play LeRoy’s performance because he makes a living performing and selling his music but I can give you a taste of the fun that can be had in Mayberry. We get to hear the opening act of the evening which was Floyd & Otis entertaining the crowd for twenty minutes or so. You’re going get to hear what you’re missing by not attending the Mayberry events held throughout the country. Make plans to attend one near you….you’ll love it.
