Longtime Texas candy company has taffy on full-pull

Full story: Country World News

I felt like with some updating and new angles added, I could take the company through another 100 years The taffy you probably ate as a kid is still handmade at McCraw's Confections located at 101 Candy St. via Country World News

YOU COULD TRY ZABASEARCH.COM , OTHER THAN THAT HER PHONES HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. MAY ALSO TRY LOOKING AT THE AUCTION PAPERS FILED IN COLLIN COUNTY, NOT SURE IF YOU CAN DO THAT ONLINE OR NOT. IF YOU FIGUE IT OUT LET ME KNOW, I KNOW SOME FORMER EMPLOYEES STILL NEEDING THEIR W2'S

I worked at McCraw Candies for about 18 years.
They did make the best taffy AND peanut patties
you ever had. I started in about 1968. At the time, we were shipping from early spring to mid-summer two to three hundred cases of taffy nearly every day except weekends. I worked for the Cohen family. They were great people. They purchaced the company from John McCraw before I started working there. Although I did work for John McCraw on and off. After John sold out to the Cohens, John Started up "Sugar Hill Candies" just down the street.There was plenty of buisness for both companies. Taffy was the only product made at "Sugar Hill". I worked with some of the best people on Earth during those years. Some were really the old time candy makers that really knew their buisness. When I left McCraw Candies it was owned by a lady named KAY BAILEY HUTCHINGTON . She was also a great lady, and I have voted for her several times since she got out of the candy buisness.

Daily Horoscope for December 24

Gemini

It's a busy day and you've got quite enough to do without having to cope with people clamoring for your attention and likely to go into a huff if they don't get it. Is this person feeling neglected because you're busily occupied elsewhere or are there other reasons for their demanding mood? Simply giving them a big hug could make all the difference to their behavior.
