Renowned Artist, George Carruth, Receives Unique Honor from Local Institution

Internationally recognized sculptor, George Carruth, recently signed a hot dog bun at the world-famous Tony Packo's restaurant headquartered in Toledo, Ohio.

Carruth joins a long list of celebrities in a tradition that began in 1972 when Burt Reynolds, while dinning in the original Packo's restaurant, picked-up a bun and autographed it. Since that time, celebrities including United States presidents, actors, athletes, musicians and astronauts have been asked to sign a bun for display at the restaurant locations.

"I was quite surprised when I was approached for this honor," stated Carruth, co-founder of Carruth Studio. "It is quite humbling considering the achievements of those who have their autographs displayed on a Tony Packo's hot dog bun."

"Looking at all of the celebrity signatures at our dining locations is a large part of the Packo's brand experience. Our customers real ly enjoy it and having a celebrity with local roots participate in the tradition is really special," said Scott Radel, Vice President at Tony Packo's.

"While I was very flattered when PBS produced a documentary about my career a few years ago, I have to admit, I was even more excited about having my signature displayed on a Packo's bun," added Carruth.
