Gov. Perdue Declares Sept. 12 'North Carolina Hot Sauce Day'
07-24-2009  
 
RALEIGH, NC - Rep. James W. Crawford Jr. has worked with the North Carolina House of Representatives and Gov. Beverly Perdue to have Sept. 12 declared the state's first North Carolina Hot Sauce Day. Page Skelton, president of CACKALACKY, INC. of Chapel Hill was instrumental in obtaining the proclamation and expressed his excitement at the governor's recognition of our state's zesty foods heritage as well as an industry that continues to contribute to our state's economy.
 
The proclamation issued and signed by Gov. Perdue recognizes North Carolina as America's birthplace of vinegar and pepper hot sauces and is now home to Bailey's Farms, the largest chile pepper farm on the eastern seaboard of the United States. Spearheaded by Julia Overton, owner of Stovall's Gifts and a board member of NC Specialty Foods Association, the Town of Oxford hosts an annual Hot Sauce Contest on the second Saturday of September that attracts people from across the state. The contest will be on Sept. 12 this year.
 
"North Carolina recognizes the countless farmers, producers, entrepreneurs and factory workers that comprise our condiment industry," the proclamation says. 
 
"This is an important and growing industry not just in Granville County, but statewide," Rep. Crawford said. "It gives our farmers some alternative crops and allows small businesses to develop. I'm glad I was able to work with the governor and the people of Granville County to bring some deserved attention."
 
Rep. Crawford is a developer in his 13th term in the House of Representatives. He is a chairman of the Appropriations Committee and vice chairman of the Transportation Committee. He is also a member of the Judiciary II, Mental Health Reform and Rules, Calendar and Operations of the House committees.

Cackalacky Calls For Support Of NC Hot Sauce Day Legislation
03-25-2009
 
CHAPEL HILL, NC - Cackalacky, Inc., the company that created the Original Cackalacky Spice Sauce, is encouraging North Carolina's spicy sauce lovers and state lawmakers to support State Representative James W. Crawford, Jr.'s NC House Bill 683 which designates the second Saturday of September each year to be "NC Hot Sauce Day."
 
According to Cackalacky's president, H. Page Skelton, Sr., "North Carolina has a long and proud history as the birthplace of America's first vinegar & red pepper-spiced table condiment - with a recipe that dates at least as far back as the 1600's. Today, in addition to Cackalacky and dozens of other great zesty sauce brands, North Carolina has also become home to the largest chile pepper producer on the eastern seaboard. So, in my opinion, Representative Crawford's bill is a long overdue celebration of our spicy culinary heritage as well as a timely recognition of an industry that continues to contribute to our state's economy during a financially challenging period. And," he added, "I strongly urge my fellow North Carolinians and hot sauce lovers to contact their respective representatives to express their support of NC House Bill 683 as well."
