Well, Mayberry Days 1996 has come and gone but not without leaving
all those who attended with memories that will live on.
Things got started with the Annual Mayberry Days
Golf Outing which began Thursday afternoon. Special guest for Mayberry
Days, Jackie Joseph and Richard & Bettina Linke, were on
hand to get things started. Following the reading of the rules by Mayberry
Deputy David Browning, the golfers took to the course. "Barney" drove
Mr. Linke around the course to meet and greet folks in one of the hospitality
carts while Mrs. Linke joined Emmett Forrest, Andy's childhood friend, in
a foursome.
The other cart was driven by Allan "Floyd" Newsome with the delightful
Jackie Joseph (a.k.a. Romeena). Ms. Joseph delivered cookies and smiles to
all the golfers as well as taking time to jump over a stump or two with Barney
and Floyd close behind.
Following golf, folks sit down
to enjoy the "Pig Pickin'" (barbecue) and to have the prizes for the
days events presented by Barney, Floyd, and Phil "Ernest T." Lee.
The fun was just beginning as Ernest T. went over to his darling Romeena
and "hefted" her for all to see. Ms. Joseph and Mr. Linke spoke to those
gathered thanking all for the warm reception they received.
The days events weren't over yet. The Downtown Cinema
Theater had a free showing of "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" to round
out the opening days events. A fun day was had by all and Mayberry Days were
only beginning.
