                         Monday, July 21, 2025

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 3rd annual 
Peach Week, taking place in my home county of Moore, North Carolina, 
this week. Peach week is a kickoff to summer fun but also shows the 
importance of peaches in our agriculture industry and as a staple of 
our state.
  This year, Peach Week will run from July 18 to July 27, featuring a 
variety of events. Due to its popularity, Peach Week has garnered a 
record number of nearly 40 participating restaurants, specialty 
outlets, and food trucks taking part in the Peach Week promotions. 
Attendees will have the opportunity to try a variety of peach-themed 
dishes ranging from breakfast, appetizers, entrees, desserts, and both 
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
  In addition to these promotions, ticketed and complementary events 
will be available, such as the Run Your Peach Off 5k, Putt n' Peach 
mini golf, and the Peachgrass festival at the Weymouth Center for the 
Arts and Humanities. To complement the activities, farmers markets from 
Southern Pines, Vass, and Carthage will also be offering peaches and 
peach products during the celebration.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the 3rd annual Peach Week, 
in North Carolina's 9th District, as a fun and exciting week 
celebrating the peach, a major agricultural product of my home state of 
North Carolina and a symbol of summertime.
