The Wilson Whirligig Festival is an annual arts and crafts festival held each November in Wilson, NC.  Whirligigs are whimsical, wind-driven works of art that dot the landscape around downtown Wilson.  The Wilson Woodcarvers Club actively supports and participates in this event each year.  This year our club expanded our space to include not only a sales area but a area to provide for wood carving demonstrations and recruiting new members.  Below are a few photos of this event.
