Gov. Perdue Declares

- 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

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."
