Remembering Randolph County:: Tales from the Center of the Tar Heel State

by Chip Womick

Randolph County's most colorful characters come to life within these pages, including Rufus Hussey, the Beanshooter Man who whittled slingshots and gave Johnny Carson a run for his money; and the Petty family,
whose NASCAR connection spans four generations. Tar Heel native Chip Womick has spent over two decades writing about the people, places, and things that make Randolph County special, from the smallest church in the state to the largest walk-through natural habitat zoo in the world--and a whole lot more in between.

I've lived in Randolph County almost my whole life. Reading about places and people that I know was awesome. Reading facts I'd never heard before was even more so.

Many interesting facts about Asheboro and Randolph county. A book every resident should read.
