4 N.C. cities selected as regional Veterans Day sites
Two area communities, one with the longest
running Veterans Day parade and the other said to have the largest, have
received special recognition for their efforts.
The Veterans Day National Committee has selected
four North Carolina locations as Regional Sites for the observance of
Veterans Day 2010, according to a news release from the N.C. Division of
Veterans Affairs. The sites include Warsaw, Morehead City, Fayetteville
and Charlotte.
It's the first time North Carolina has been designated according to the release.
Raymond Cooper, 64, of Kenansville, an employee
at the Duplin County Veterans Service Office, grew up watching Veterans
Day parade in Warsaw and found the recognition for the parade a fitting
one. According to the town's website, it's the oldest consecutive
Veterans Day celebration in America and started in 1921.
"My father was a World War II veteran and we never missed it. We always knew we were going to the parade," he said.
Cooper took his own kids and now participates in the parade with an entry for the county's senior center.
It's all about remembering the country's veterans, he said.
"They went off and fought for our country and we should all be proud," he said.
The news release says each of the four locations
selected has an "established history of pulling out all the stops to
celebrate Veterans Day."
Morehead City, it said, has a tradition of
presenting the largest annual Veterans Day parade in North Carolina with
150 or more entries and drawing support from area Marine Corps
facilities at Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point and New River as well as the
Coast Guard Station at Fort Macon and others. The parade is put on by
the Carteret County Veterans Council.
Local organizers at the regional sites will
receive assistance from federal military officials in the planning of
activities for Veterans Day 2010, the release said.
Carteret County Veterans Service Officer Hank Gotard had just learned of the selection of Morehead City as a regional site.
"It sort of says a lot about our community and
what we're about. Patriotism is alive and well in Carteret County and
eastern North Carolina," he said.
Back in Warsaw, the designation comes just as the
Veterans Day observance prepares for its 90th year. The observance is
organized by the Duplin County Chamber of Commerce's Veterans Committee.
"We're just so thrilled that we got it on our
90th and we're pleased and honored that we were chosen," said Linda
Kitchin, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce.
As a regional site, she said, the hope is to draw an even larger number of veterans to this year's observance.

Duplin Winery Releases Blueberry Wine
Duplin Winery, the largest winery in the South and
the oldest continuous winery in North Carolina, has released the newest addition
to their popular varieties of Muscadine wine, Blueberry.
Duplins Blueberry Wine is sweet and 100% blueberry. While
Duplin Winery is the worlds best selling Muscadine winery, they do produce
limited-edition wines created from other fruits. Blackberry Wine is a limited
production wine and has been a favorite through distribution channels and onsite
winery sales for many years. The introduction of Blueberry Wine brings a new
fruit to the winerys limited production wine list. Its popularity is expected
to match that of Duplins Blackberry Wine.
Duplin started production of Blueberry Wine in 2009, and
officially added the wine to its sales list at the turn of the New Year. This
wine gives berry lovers another alternative. We have produced a product that is
consistent with our lineage of cool, sweet, and easy wines and will bring great
enjoyment to our fans, Jonathan Fussell, President Retail Sales, Duplin
Winery.
First announced on Facebook, where Duplin Winery holds the
distinction of the worlds largest winery fan page, the wine has been well
received. Visitors to Duplin Winery are delighted with Blueberry Wine, which is
currently on the list for the winerys daily free tastings.
Duplin Winery will bring the wine to the North Carolina
Blueberry Festival held June 19th in Burgaw. The annual festival
sees over 30,000 in attendance and celebrates the North Carolina Blueberry,
first cultivated in the 1930s. Duplins Blueberry is sure to be a hit as the
winery attends the festival for the first time.
Blueberry Wine is available at Duplin Winery in Rose Hill,
through distribution outlets and online at www.duplinwinery.com . For a full
description, tasting notes, and availability, please refer to the winerys
website.
Duplin, the largest and oldest winery in the South and
producers of Americas premier Muscadine wines, has been named the official wine
of the North Carolina Barbecue Society. Duplin Winerys wines have long been
considered the perfect complement to North Carolinas culinary staple
Barbecue!
North Carolina has a rich history in agriculture and southern
tradition. Duplin Winery has played a key role in maintaining the livelihood of
both and teaching others about North Carolina wine and agriculture. The North
Carolina Barbecue Society has consistently promoted North Carolina Barbecue as
the best there is and this year Duplin Winery is proud to be named the Official
Eastern North Carolina Wine of the North Carolina Barbecue
Society.
Its a natural fit. Our wines are cool, sweet, and easy and
perfectly paired with traditional Carolina barbecue. This has been recognized
by food critics, as well as the people who enjoy our southern cuisine daily. It
is great to play a positive role in promoting North Carolina and stand beside
the mission and goals of the North Carolina Barbecue Society, Jonathan Fussell,
President of Retail Sales, Duplin Winery.
Duplin Winery stands alongside national brands in their
official capacity for the NCBS, such as Anheuser-Busch Companies/Budweiser, Ford
Motor Company, and PepsiCo. NCBS has selected outstanding products as its
official product representations and Duplin Winery stands proud among this
company. As the largest North Carolina winery, this opportunity is a great way
to represent North Carolina on the national culinary stage, Jonathan
Fussell.
The North Carolina Barbecue Society will feature all of its
official sponsors at each of its events held throughout the year and each
sponsor will be donating product and support. The mission of the North Carolina
Barbecue Society is to preserve North Carolinas Barbecue history and culture
and to secure North Carolinas rightful place as the Barbecue Capital of the
World. In addition, the NCBS offers Barbecue Boot Camps for teens through
adults in an effort to educate, provide a viable skill set, and provide a
positive avenue for building confidence.
