Return to Story IndexSB CHICKEN WINGS
AND IF YOU PLAN TO HAVE CHICKEN WINGS AT YOUR PARTY, YOU BETTER GET YOUR ORDER IN SOON! THERE IS NO WINGING IT ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. RESTAURANTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE STARTING TO PREPARE FOR GAME DAY -AND WITH HUGE CROWDS EXPECTED, THERE CAN BE NO FUMBLES. AGRESTI says: "We always expect it to be the biggest day out there of the year for us. It's kind of like the holiday season for retail." ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR FOODS ON THE DAY : YOU GUESSED IT, WINGS! IN FACT ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL CHICKEN COUNCIL SOME 1.25 BILLION CHICKEN WINGS. HOW MUCH IS THAT? WELL, IF THEY WERE STRUNG TOGETHER, THEY'D CIRCLE THE EARTH MORE THAN TWICE. ABOUT HALF OF THOSE WILL COME FROM RESTAURANTS, SAYS THE NCC. SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT 'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES IS A LITTLE HECTIC. AGRESTIV says: "It definitely gets a little creative in the kitchen sometimes as far as being able to meet everyone's needs & making sure that everything is packaged perfectly and plated exactly the way the customer expects it." TO PREPARE FOR THE BIG DAY NATIONAL CHAIN BUFFALO WILD WINGS WORKS OUT THEIR OWN PLAY SHEET. SUPER BOWL SUNDAY RINGS UP ABOUT 11 TIMES MORE WING BUSINESS THAN THE CHAIN DOES ON A NORMAL SUNDAY. AGRESTI says: "Wings by far comprise the most of what we'll do for Super Bowl and realistically it's probably about 60%-70% of the business that day." OH AND YOU HAVE TO WORK FAST WHEN YOU'RE TOSSING AND SAUCING THOUSANDS OF WINGS IN ONE DAY! AND JUST REMEMBER, THINGS COULD GET A LITTLE MESSY. AGRESTI says: "The main thing to keep the sauce off everyone is to put a lid on the bucket before you spin it." AND NO MATTER HOW YOU SPIN IT... WHILE TEAMS ARE SCORING ON THE FIELD, WING LOVERS ARE RUNNING UP THE SCORE ON HOW MANY WINGS THEY CAN TOSS BACK. DANIEL TORRES says: "30-35. I like them a lot, especially during Super Bowl time." SHEENA PUGH says: "Probably 20 or more. I can eat." THESE COLLEGE STUDENTS SAY IT JUST WOULDN'T BE THE SUPER BOWL WITHOUT TWO MAIN INGREDIENTS. AKEEM CUMMINGS says: "What else would be great for the Super Bowl, I mean you have beers and wings. That's like truthfully the greatest combination period."

Return to Story IndexHUNTING IMPACT
AS EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY REPORTS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE, THAT PUMPS MONEY INTO VIRTUALLY EVERY CORNER OF THE STATE. You see this all the time...hunters and anglers out in the woods enjoying nature, but what you might not realize is just how much the state depends on the money they spend before they head outdoors. :33Justin Gaull/WV SBC says, "It's both hunting and fishing and it's a year round economic benefit to the state, particularly some of the smaller businesses around WV that people are coming in out of state to go hunting and fishing. Fishing is more year round than hunting, which is mostly the fall season." Fishing is big..in fact, nearly 400 thousand people fish in the state, spending a whopping 6 point 9 million days collectively out on the water every year. Hunting is big, too with more than a quarter million hunters in West Virginia every year. In fact, deer season is the Black Friday of small businesses around the state. 1:07"It's their bread and butter around that time. A lot of smaller businesses around WV really depend on fall hunting season for a big boost in their yearly income. 1:38Lodging entities and guide outfitters, it covers nearly 16,000 employers throughout the state and over 95% of WV businesses are small businesses." But there's nothing small about the total economic impact of hunting and fishing in West Virginia. Recent studies show hunting and fishing bring in around 750 million dollars a year in economic benefits to the state and interest continues to grow. 2:22"WV has the 7th highest participation rate of any state-all the other states are west of the Mississippi River, so that's quite an accomplishment." And when you consider about 25 % of the people hunting here are from out of state, you can see just how important it is to both protect our fish and wildlife populations while making it enjoyable for folks to do a little hunting and fishing. For West Virginia Widllife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News.
