This factual, warm-hearted and offbeat guide introduces you to some fantastic wonders, part of a North Carolina you never knew existed. Updated and revised, you'll learn about dozens of one-f-a-king sights and activities from all across the Tarheel State. To read about them is high entertainment; to visit them is to be startled by the amazing natural phenomena and triumphs of human resourcefulness to be seen along your way. Consider these places and events: The Turkey Olympics, an event featuring turkey races and a turkey dress-up contest; the second smallest post office in America; the Outer Space Venus's-Flytrap Nursery, in the only place where the plants grow naturally; the National Whistling Convention and the World's Largest Collection of Recorded Whistling Music; and the World's Most Complicated Bridge, a one-quarter-mile long construction that took a mere eight years to build!
