It’s canning time again, and Aunt Bee has put up another batch of pickles.

After the switch, Bee decides to enter her pickles in the county fair. Unfortunately, the perennial winner is Clara Johnson, Bee’s best friend, and she has her heart set on winning her 12th blue ribbon in a row.

I talk a bit about the upcoming Mayberry Meetup in Mt. Airy, N.C. and encourage folks to attend an event near you. Meeting fellow fans is almost as special as meeting cast members so I don’t want you to miss out on either.

Over the 17 years of doing the podcast, I’ve lost track of how many “feedback” episodes I’ve done so I’m just naming this one by month.
We have 4 bits of feedback/reports that have been provided by listeners/viewers just like you. I’m so thankful to hear from each of you because I love hearing what you think about our hometown and the goin’s on in those parts.
We have a report from folks who met Ron & Clint Howard, attended the Mayberry – I Love Lucy festival in Granville, TN in early April, a report about North Carolina possibly making The Andy Griffith Show the official TV series for the state, and observations about connections between Mayberry and Mayfield.
Then we’ll play some trivia related to last weeks episode focus, Crime-Free Mayberry, as well.
Sit back and have come Mayberry fun!
Oh, and thank you to Russell Estes for the new Two Chairs No Waiting theme song. I’m proud to have it!
