Mount Airy was a busy place last weekend.
The annual Bunker Family reunion brought more than a hundred folks to the city, including the ambassador and other staff members from the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington. The Mayberry Cool Cars and Rods Cruise-In brought hundreds of antique and classic cars, and their fans, to Main Street. And of course, there was the usual rush of weekend tourists and visitors.
But among all that activity was another group that quietly slipped into town, shopping, hanging out, and taking part in some low-key but pure Americana activities.
It was the ninth annual Mayberry Meet-Up.
