Pipes and drums and Twilight Zone

It may be hard to believe, but we have a very good pipe and drum corp right here in Willoughby, Ohio. Today the town turned out to enjoy "Last Stop Willoughby," an annual celebration centered around one of Rod Serling's first Twilight Zone episodes, and reportedly one of his favorites. The episode was titled "A Stop in Willoughby" and aired on Twilight Zone in May, 1960. Serling's daughter was the guest of honor and parade marshall today. A good time was had by all, with good food and plenty of entertainment, including the Black Sheep Pipes and Drums. From across the town square, I heard the pipes and knew I had my blip for the day.

Here's a synopsis of the episode I found online:

Tired of his miserable job and wife, a businessman starts dreaming on the train each night, about an old, idyllic town called Willoughby. Soon he has to know whether the town is real and fancies the thought of seeking refuge there.
