I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter as well so be sure to call...

This episode is going to be full of Mayberry trivia that I think we can all enjoy.

Last weekend was the 14th Mayberry Meetup at the Mayberry Motor Inn in Mount Airy, N.C. We had a great time visiting and doing some different kinds of trivia and that got me to wanting some fun trivia for us to do here on the podcast. I hope you’re going to enjoy trying to answer these questions from the Mayberry Trivia book by Scott Hopkins (available at WeaversDepartmentStore.com).

We’ll follow that up with a little overview of the Meetup to include a great video by “Ernest T. Bass Review” (you can find him on Facebook and the link is in our show notes). Thanks to Eddie “Ernest T” Kilbourne for letting me use his video. For our audio only listeners, I think you’ll enjoy it, too, but I do recommend the video version to see what’s happening.
