Well, Mayberry Days has come and gone but the memories live on. Here's a 4 page report on some of the highlights along with pictures of some of the fun. Plan on being there next year to experience it in person.
- "WBMUTBB?" 1st Award?
- Well, it's not an award exactly but we did get rated #9 out of 100 TV Comedy Show Sites and that's as close as we've ever been to an award. I kind of feel like Barney when he saved Helen and Andy out of that cave.

- The Mayberry Collection Online
- This is almost the entire Hometown TV Mayberry Collection and it's all online for us to browse. Check at Weaver's before you buy because ole Ben has better prices on items that both carry but The Mayberry Collection offers a lot of things that Weaver's doesn't. Check it out.
- New Stuff at Weaver's Dept. Store!!!
- Here's your chance to be the first in your area to have the newest Mayberry items! Weaver's has 4 new TAGS t-shirts, 1 brand new cap, and a supply of caps that were thought to be sold out. They'll be in the next issue of "The Bullet" but this is your chance to see 'em first.
- Howard's Notes
- Visit Jim & Alice Schwenke's corner of Mayberry and check out "Howard's Notes". Filled with fun information about cast and crew. This is the first installment and I'd like to hear comments.

Russell Hiatt Update.
Russel is the owner of Floyd's City Barber Shop in Mount Airy (Mayberry), NC. And as you know, Russell took a nasty spill a few months back. I saw Russell at the recent Mayberry Days event and I tell you the prayers worked!
Russell was in his shop cutting hair, for a few folks, and talking to everybody during Mayberry Days! He told me, "Some folks have to wait until they pass away to see how many friends they have. With all the cards and phone calls I received, how could I help but get well."
He also said that many of the cards were from the folks here on the internet and he wanted me to thanks each of you for your cards and prayers. Russell is a class act and if you ever have a chance to drop by Floyd's in Mt. Airy be sure to sit in the barber chair and let Russell take a picture of you for his "Wall of Fame". The "Wall of Fame" is covered with photos of folks that have visited Floyd's over the years so if you've been there before take some time to look for your picture. I bet it's there, somewhere.
If you'd like to write to Russell, the address is as follows:
