The Wilson (NC) Whirligig Festival


Not only did I learn about the Whirligig Park opening in November in Wilson, NC, but also, there are plans to have a Whirligig Festival November 2-3 this year. I imagine it will likely coincide with the opening of the park.

Along with the usual food (and in eastern North Carolina, that definitely means Carolina-style 'Cue), activities and so forth, there will also be entertainment. Bands scheduled at this point are the Impacts, East Coast R&B, Without Further Ado and the Wallers.

And, also being eastern N.C., that means Beach Music and the great Band of Oz will be playing.

Vollis Simpson's Whirligigs: Wilson's Whirligig Park Opening This November


Well, this just keeps getting deeper.

I looked up the Whirligig Park at www.wilsonwhirligigpark.org. and it is a site well-worth visiting, if not just to see some of Vollis Simpson's creations that will be featured there.

Some thirty whirligig will be in the park, which is located in downtown Wilson, N.C., scheduled to open in November, perhaps November 2-3 when the annual Whirligig Festival is held.
