In Hometown Declarations, you will find out how these self proclamations came about.  First, it takes a lot of courage to say you are the best in the world at something.  There is definitely a lot of competition out there.  You may find some "World Capitals" in the right places.  Cotton is in Greenwood, Mississippi, country music is in Nashville and entertainment is in Las Vegas.  But you will be surprised to find some of our "World Capitals" are not where you imagine.  What town is the king of horseradish and has the world's largest bottle of ketchup?  Who do you think has made over a million fire hydrants?  Who is proud of their rhubarb?  You will find a lot of these communities are near you.  Interesting and surprising discoveries await you and your family.
