Beaver Dam hosts annual festival in celebration of community's namesake pepper

BEAVER DAM, Wis. (CBS 58) -- On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, photojournalist Tim D'Agostino and editor Susanne Barthel share the story of the Beaver Dam Pepper, a pepper species named after the City of Beaver Dam.

When some local citizens discovered that the Beaver Dam Pepper is celebrated in cities throughout the Midwest, but not in Beaver Dam, they decided the time was right to begin a celebration of their own.
