The ‘Tom Talks’ History and Book Signing event hosted Sunday, May 19, by the Ararat Ruritan Club was a special event, with proceeds from sales donated to the Perry Family Scholarship.
Tom Perry, author, started the scholarship fund as a way to honor his late parents.
The event in Ararat included the release of his new book, “White Sulphur Springs, North Carolina,” Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. It also offered the community a unique opportunity to engage with the author and learn more about our local history.
