Two Goobers?
George Lindsey and Tim Pettigrew had such a good time meeting last year, we thought it would be fun to have them both back again this year. We expect to have some fun with this one!
When can I meet the stars and get an autograph?
We are planning a Saturday morning autograph session (July 10) in the air-conditioned comfort of New Castle Middle School. Each "Mayberry" star will be set up throughout the cafeteria, and you will have an opportunity to meet them and get something signed. "The Mayberry Deputy" and the other impersonators will also be on hand to keep things lively! An additional session is being added on Friday afternoon at a number of area attractions.
