Two Goobers?

year. We expect to have some fun with this one!
When can I meet the
stars and get an autograph?
We are planning a Saturday morning autograph session (July 10) in
the air-conditioned comfort of New Castle Middle School. Each
"Mayberry" star will be set up throughout the cafeteria, and you

Mayberry Deputy" and the other impersonators will also be on hand to
keep things lively! An additional session is being added on
Friday afternoon at a number of area attractions.
