February 10, 2024, in Scottsburg, Indiana
with Randy Turner
Join us for a little Mid-Winter Mayberry boost! Noted Author, historian and expert on “The Andy Griffith Show” Randy Turner presents a fascinating look at the famed 40 Acres backlot that served as Mayberry. 40 Acres was also used in countless classic television shows and movies. The backlot was the filming location for “Gone with the Wind,” “King Kong,” “Star Trek,” “Batman,” “Hogan’s Heroes,” and many other movies and TV series. Randy will share interesting details about the shows and movies we all know and love using many rarely seen pictures and video clips. You’ll be amazed at all the familiar scenes created on the back lot. If you’re a lover of classic television and movies this is an event you won’t want to miss! There will be a Q&A session with Randy and an opportunity to purchase some of his wonderful books and other items.
Thank you for providing the Backlot with Randy Turner and for welcoming us. Jake and I are excited to help with the 2nd annual festival. Where can we purchase “Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg” shirts?
Hi Stacy! Thank you for coming and for your willingness to help with the festival. It was a real joy to meet you both! T-shirts will be available at the festival. Before we make the bulk order we’ll take requests from team members for the number and sizes they want. We’ll distribute them to the team when they arrive. More info on those will be coming out in the next few weeks. You’ve been added to the mailing list and will be getting an update in the mail in the next few days. Thanks again to you both for becoming part of or Mayberry Family!
