Here are some random shots of the auction and the workers milling around, keeping
an eye on the proceedings, having lunch.........
These
nice folks from Alabama bought the Don Knotts autographed Squad Car Cookie Jar, the
Harvey Bullock autographed "Opie, the Birdman" script, the basket from
the estate of Frances Bavier, and the beautiful quilt that Kathy Taylor made. The
quilt was autographed by all of the TAGS folks at Mayberry Days this year.
**HERE
ARE SOME MORE PICTURES FROM THE AUCTION
COMPLIMENTS OF MR. SCHWUMP**.
There is always music everywhere you turn in Mayberry. As we were going from
the Playhouse back to Main Street, we saw this couple playing and singing in the
gazebo in the public parking lot. They were singing old-time gospel songs and just
in the 4 or 5 songs we listened to he played the 12-string guitar and banjo and she
played the 12-string guitar, the hammered dulcimer, and this little saxaphone looking
thing. There was a mandolin there too so at least one of them played it. There were
several folks sitting around listening. A really nice few minutes out of a really
nice weekend.........
After the auction we went to Prof. Brower's second lecture and later to the
TAGSRWC meeting.......

then Jeff received an award from TAGSRWC for all he does to promote TAGS and Mayberry
Days. He was very humbled and we were all very proud for him.
