This year’s festival is bigger and better in several ways. Some of the great fun we’ll have this year is through our contests. Whether you fancy yourself an expert in Mayberry Trivia, you have a little red-headed fellow in your family that everyone says looks just like Opie, or you’re know for making pies and pickles to rival Aunt Bee, there’s a contest for you. Some of our contests are being conducted through partnerships with local service organizations. The contests will help raise funds for the great work being done in our community. Visit our contests page at the following link to learn more about them and fill out an entry form.

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.
