We visited in the 34th annual Mayberry Days celebration, in Mayberry/Mt. Airy, NC.
The festival features events and competitions, character look-alikes, a parade, and makes you feel like you are truly back in Mayberry.

Glad you enjoyed your first visit to Mayberry Days. This was our 7th time, 6th as Barney (I was the one who gave you a ticket for loitering). I would encourage you to come again next year and buy tickets for the Colonel Tim's Talent Time show. It is on Saturday night at 7pm. The stars will speak, talent show winners perform and tribute artists perform skits and scenes from the show. You will laugh a lot. 10-4. Out and under. In and over. Uh, bye.

Yes, I looked you up afterwards, from your name on the ticket. You giving me that ticket was the highlight of my day. I have to say that you and Floyd are the best at doing imitations of the characters, that I've ever seen. You literally sound just like Barney. Just don't let me catch you out of uniform... LOL. We have every intention of coming next year, Lord willing. And yes, we want to see that show. But thanks for the memory. I thought that was worth putting in the video. I'll have to commit some other infraction next year, so you can do it again.

HI You folks did a great job with the video we have been to Mayberry days about 9 times and now as we get older not as much I will never forget 1 year at the parade Charlin Darlin in the back of the Darlin truck hollers out CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE Man oh man it went right thru me as the crowd responded ./ As far as thinking I could answer any trivia questions well just like you did Flop and anytime I get a little depressed The wife says TURN on Andy .// Great Job Guys

Thank you so much for watching, and for commenting. We are glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I thought I knew Andy Griffith trivia like no other. As far as my friends who love the show, I could probably take any of them. But when I got up there against people who live, eat, and breathe it, I felt really ignorant. But we loved the experience, and can't wait to get back this September. I imagine that was a thrill, getting to see Charlene.

Great video. We went to Mount Airy in 2021 and had a great time. The squad car tour, Snappy lunch, the Andy Griffith Museum, and the Mayberry courthouse. One of our favorite things was sitting on the bench in front of Wally's sharing a diet Cheerwine. We were surprised we didn't see any Ernest T. Bass impersonators in your video.

@NCMemoryMakers 9 ай бұрын

There were no Ernest T. impersonators, nor Aunt Bee impersonators. We were talking about that, as well. We definitely thought someone would be doing Ernest T.

Great job of the video. I used to go every year from 2014 till 2019 and unfortunately I have not been able to get back there again since then. The one thing I like about your video, it the fact that it was your first time going to a Mayberry Days and I think this video will encourage others who have not yet been to make it a point to go ! Just before Keith Thibodeaux spoke at the Mayor's proclamation the fellow before him was Dennis Rush who was another one of Opie's friends named Howe Pruitt. He is a great person and has a very interesting background as a child actor....It is always fun to see them, I miss it so much. Mayberry Days is a very special event! Hope you were able to go to some of the shows like Professor Browers Lecture and Karen Knotts show and the grand finally Col Harvey's Talent Show on Sat Night, these are great to attend and also Ronnie Schell.

yes, I remember my first time going I was the same way, it was kind of overwhelming. We did go to Col Harvey's Talent Show on the first visit. We discovered the program and events paper that is put out called Mayberry Confidential and it list all of the events and shows so the next time we went we were more prepared, some shows sale out before the festival begins so you can go to the website and plan ahead of time, just google Mayberry Days schedule and you will find it. @@NCMemoryMakers

I can relate to what you are saying. The first time I went there it was overwhelming trying to absorb and trying to figure out everything.

I certainly hope you are the ones I was talking about. I would love to ask you about them. It was a couple that were each wearing a red t-shirt, and they had pictures of Fred and Jenny Boone on the front of them. That was the feuding couple on Andy Griffith. His shirt had a picture of Mr. Boone, and it said "Morning Honey". Hers had a picture of Jenny, and said "Morning Dear".
