"It's an honor to be recognized by the State where we've always called home," said Petty. "It makes you feel good to be honored by the people who serve your city, county and state. Our entire family has grown up and lived here all our lives and we always tried to give back to our community."

The State Senate and House of Representatives also paid tribute to the late Lynda and Adam Petty for their contributions to North Carolina.
