Tar Heel Traveler Attractions & Adventures will celebrate the many great places across North Carolina, from historic landmarks to little known nooks and crannies.The book includes museums, gardens, bakeries, theatres, lighthouses, even cemeteries—attractions he has showcased on his popular TV show. His nightly series is in its 16th year on WRAL-TV, the NBC affiliate in Raleigh, and features colorful characters and fascinating locations across the state. On average, 82,000 viewers watch the Tar Heel Traveler each night, and more than 30,000 people follow him on social media.Mason writes about these unique places in the book, including their contact information, and devotes a page of copy to each one. He also includes photos, about three per attraction/adventure. Since each of the places appeared as television stories, freeze frames from those TV videos are being converted to photographs for the printed page.
