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. ....
April 17, 2021 • Six guns with a total value exceeding $2,500 have been stolen from a Mount Airy man as a result of a break-in involving a safecracking, according to city police reports.

March 21, 2021 Nearly two dozen members of Mount Airy’s Calvary Baptist Church recently gathered for what might seem like a peculiar purpose to separate and distribute 22,000 pounds of sweet potatoes. The work was part of an informal association the church has with the Society of St. Andrews, a Big Island, Virginia-based ministry which aims to supply food to needy families. Rev. Alex Martin, better known as Pastor Alex to his parishioners at Calvary Baptist, said his church has been affiliated with the ministry for several years. “The Society of St. Andrews works with farmers to glean their fields and to rescue sometimes imperfect produce that otherwise might go to waste and to try to get it into the hands of organizations that can distribute it to those in need,” he said. ....
By Tom Joyce [email protected] Mount Airy Commissioner/Mayor Pro Tem Ron Niland presents a city resolution of recognition to Pat Gwyn for her 49 years of service to the Mount Airy Public Library. A library is more than a building filled with books, with those working inside needed to ensure its success, and in that spirit Pat Gwyn has been recognized by Mount Airy officials for her job well done. Commissioner/Mayor Pro Tem Ron Niland called it “a bittersweet recognition” Thursday night when Gwyn was honored at a city council meeting in conjunction with her retirement from the Mount Airy Public Library. ....
March 22, 2021 A Siloam man was killed Monday morning when he was struck by a tractor-trailer on U.S. 52 South, near the Cook School Road exit. Marvin H. Bledsoe Sr., of Siloam, 85, had for some reason stopped his car on the shoulder of the southbound lane of U.S. 52, then wondered into oncoming traffic when he was struck, according to North Carolina Highway Patrol First Sgt. J.M. Church. The sergeant said officials do not yet know why Bledsoe had exited his car. “It was nearby, and wasn’t broken down,” Church said. David Speight, interim Surry County Emergency Services director, said the incident occurred shortly after 6 a.m., when conditions were still dark. He said that Bledsoe was standing or walking in the right-hand traffic lane when he was struck. ....
