We are NOT in East Texas!

Have you seen the email that's going around? Seems some folks in Texas are trying to take credit for SC's big alligator! We've had calls from the Texas Department of Natural Resources and from an astute viewer in Alabama trying to verify if it's really from Texas.  Remember the huge one from last year? It weighed 850 lbs and was over 12 feet, but was missing quite a bit of his tail.  I promise you it was taken from SC and the pictures are of Kenneth, my  son, Tristan, and my grandson.The pictures were taken by my daughter, Michelle DiMaio. Kenneth made a rug of the monster and it's now hanging in Summerville. So all you Texans may have the corner on having lots of BIG things, but this big alligator was taken here in good ol' South Carolina! The offending email appears below.

JUNK EMAIL!!! Entitled: Little gator caught in east TEXAS.

Coming soon!! We've got a source for all natural local pork, Grooms Farm.

Hello, Friends!
We are excited to announce that we will soon have all natural local pork from Grooms Farm. If you've read our farm's story and then you know that both of Michael's grandfathers sold meat at markets in downtown Charleston.  Well, Michael's first cousin lives on their grandfather's farm in the Lebanon community. Where our part of the family raised cows, their's have always raised pigs. Mike Grooms is now offering all natural local Grooms Farm pork to our Cordray Farms friends!  We'll be cutting and packaging all kinds of pork goodies from the pigs Mike provides, like fresh pork link sausages and hickory smoked hams. We'll have them in the meat case soon! Stay posted!
