Meet Mick Holloway, our resident expert on all things Randolph County. This lifelong resident of Randolph County is a veritable fount of knowledge with an incredible talent for storytelling, an amazing sense of humor, and a wit to match.

Mick will be the official blogger for the Society, sharing tales of old.
