Wilson NC and the whirligigs

Many youtube versions to see them in motion.

In planning the trip, my friend Shanna came to mind. She  lives in North Carolina,4 hours from Charleston so I thought it would be nice to go there as a stopover on the way to driving to Charleston. This took on a new turn when she asked if she could come along.

She lives in Wilson, NC about 1 hour east of Raleigh. Not much in the town, but one of their beloved residents Vollis Simpson, a veteran, a welder and clearly a man of whimsy and imagination  donated his intricate, charming whirligigs to the city which will all be on display starting  in 2018. The park is under construction, so many all already creating delight for those who happen to be in town.
