SOUTH CAROLINA

The peach is the state fruit of  South Carolina.

The largest Gingko farm in the world is in Sumter, South Carolina.

Johnston, South Carolina is known as the Peach Capital of the World.

The state tree of South Carolina is the Cabbage palmetto, and is also on the state flag.

An annual Chitlin' festival known as the 'Chitlin' Strut' is held every year in Salley, South Carolina. The main focus of this festival is the preparation and consumption of large amounts of chitterlings ('chitlin's') -- otherwise known as boiled hog intestines.

     The festival began in 1966 because the mayor was looking for a way to raise money for new Christmas decorations for the town of Salley.

     The festival's popularity has grown steadily from 1,000 people when it started to an average crowd of 40,000 to 60,000 people today, who eat more than 10,000 pounds of chitlin's!
