The picture above is just a glimpse of a few “whirligigs”. Wilson, North Carolina native, Vollis Simpson is the creator of these fascinating objects. To be honest, it looks very much like a mix between art and science. Either way the whirligigs are a must see. Not only are natives of North Carolina happy about the whirligigs but also people all over the country. People from far and near come to see the whirligigs year round. If you really want to feel the full effect of the whirligigs. The town of Wilson hosts the “Whirligig Festival” the first week of November each year for two days. While you are visiting Wilson, please stop by Marty’s BBQ, Parkers BBQ, or Smithfield BBQ. You can’t visit Wilson without indulging in some good ole down east barbecue!
