- **Event Name**: Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Farm machinery repairman, Vollis Simpson, began making gigantic kinetic sculptures at his family farm in Wilson County when he was nearing retirement age. He kept making his “whirligigs”–seven days a week–until about six months before he died at the age of 94 in May of 2013.  The town of Wilson used the renowned whirligigs to recharge its downtown and has catapulted the community into the national spotlight with the opening of the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park and Museum.

The ride to Wilson is about 3 hours of road time, plus rest stops.  We will be KSU at 8AM from the parking lot of the Hardees in Rockwell.   Get there early if you want to grab a bite before the ride.  We'll want to get on the road at the KSU time.
