RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending the Slosheye Trail BIG PIG JIG; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
to a true Southerner, great barbecue is both a blessing and a necessity of life;
and
WHEREAS,
in the quest to find the best barbecue in the land, the Dooly County Chamber of
Commerce is sponsoring the twenty-seventh annual Slosheye Trail BIG PIG JIG in
Vienna, Georgia, from October 30 through November 1, 2008; and
WHEREAS,
this peerless "Cadillac of Barbecue Contests" attracts teams of intense
contenders from across the southeastern United States who match their skills in
developing the perfect combination of sauce, cooking technique, and
craftsmanship in the consummate art of pig cookery and the creation of one of
the most exquisite, treasured, and relished foods in Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
this is one of the Southeast´s most widely anticipated and popular annual
festivals and the town of Vienna, Georgia, grows to nearly five times its normal
population during the event; and
WHEREAS,
the General Assembly designated this glorious event as the "official state pork
barbecue championship cookoff" in 1997; and
WHEREAS,
the overall grand champion of the contest, whose tender, succulent, and
matchless pork preparation is deemed most delectable to the senses, pleasing to
the palate, and matchlessly mouth watering above all others shall represent this
state in the 2008 World Barbecue Cooking Championship.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body
recognizes the Slosheye Trail BIG PIG JIG and commends the Dooly County Chamber
of Commerce for bringing this outstanding event to the hearts and palates of the
citizens of Georgia.
