Mayberry Memories In Roanoke, VA=Awesome!
Hey All-
First post in a long time! Father's Day weekend brought a trip to Roanoke, VA, for the "Mayberry Memories in Word and Song" weekend. Stars in attendance, Maggie Peterson, James Best, George Spence, Betty Lynn and George "Goober" Lindsey. Friday-was "Aunt Bee's Picnic and a silent auction, along with a very informal meet and greet with the stars. Signed autographs after the picnic. Saturday evening brought the show-which show cased each star for about 15 minutes, and highlights from TAGS. George Lindsey was the last to perform, and his one-liners were hilarious!!! James Best came on as "Jim Lindsey"-confirmed he could not play a guitar in real life, then broke into his "Rosco P. Coltrane" routine. Rosco and The Mayberry Deputy went head to head as to who the head sherriff was. Sunday brought an intimate luncheon on Smith Mountain Lake on the Virginia Dare paddle boat. only star not there was George Lindsey, who had another engagement. not only was the lunch outstanding-but I was able to sit beside Maggie Peterson-who played Charlene Darling-very down to earth-friendly-and even fired us a couple of trivia questions related to TAGS. Over all-a fun weekend-and got several trading cards signed, as well as winning a signed copie of "Mayberry Memories" book at the silent auction! Until next outing- pe2 PS; almost forgot-The Mayberry Deputy aka David Browning was in attendance as "Barney". There was also an "Otis and Floyd" impersonators as well. The Deputy was tops!!!!! -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |
