Henry County’s nugget drop
December 31, 2008 at 3:41 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsClayton Henry County is ringing in 2009 with a deep-fried, artery-clogging bizz-ang.
Truett’s Grill in McDonough will kick off 2009 tonight by dropping an 800-pound chicken nugget into a tub of honey mustard.
Chick-fil-A officials insist no chickens were harmed – the 6-foot-tall nugget is made from plaster. And the honey mustard is really just karo syrup with food coloring, but it looks like honey mustard, said Becky Ragsdale, a hostess at Truett’s Grill.
“It took six guys to lift it. It’s now hanging from a huge crane,” Ragsdale said. “Some of the other [Chick-fil-A] restaurants have New Year’s Eve celebrations, but we’re the only nugget drop.”

Isn’t McDonough in Henry County rather than Clayton?

Very true. There’s also a Truett’s Grill in Morrow, which is in Clayton County. Hence the confusion in the post.
