Farm Life Museum + Whirligigs + NC MOA

Item: The "Carnival" marble roller is safely deposited at the NC State Fair for the Hobbyist Toy Division competition and we find the fairgrounds is otherwise in a state of bedlam just getting ready.
After the fairgrounds we stopped at the NC Museum of Art to see the new building and there are some good impressions on the outside but on the inside the art shows off well and especially for a large dramatic installations like the one shown below made from found objects by a South Africa artist who pieced it together
Saturday Oct. 8 found Whimsy Two setting up at the Tobacco Farm Life Museum in Kenly where we enjoyed a beautiful day and met some other vendors and visitors. It's a small world when the Jensons showed up from Lancaster County and Daniel from Octorara HS (near Longeneckers Pharmacy). The Whale and Mermaid whirligig needed a base and some cement cast in a flower pot did the job.
