Three hundred lucky Maconites are still in shock after a surprise by Oprah Winfrey. The talk show host taped her show in Macon over the weekend. The crowd was originally told the show was part of a series Oprah was doing on home towns.
Moments after the taping began the audience learned Oprah was unveiling her list of favorite things. The much anticipated show is a hot ticket because 
audience members receive thousand's of dollars in merchandise. Many of the items remained secret, but show officials say everyone received a high definition camcorder and a refrigerator with a built in television.

Oprah says she chose Macon because it has the highest Nielsen ratings of any market her show airs in. She thanked residents saying, "Y'all are just about the most gracious, hospitable folks I've ever come across."
Oprah arrived in Macon on Thursday visiting several popular sites including; the Tubman African-American Museum, downtown boutiques, and Nu-Way Weiners (sic).
The Oprah's Favorite Things episode airs Tuesday.
