                   CONGRATULATIONS PIONEER CITY RODEO

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives
                         Friday, April 7, 1995
  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Pioneer 
City Rodeo of Palestine, IL, on being named the best small outdoor 
rodeo in America. The Pioneer City Rodeo was selected from a field of 
over 700 small outdoor rodeos by a distinguished panel of livestock 
contractors, top cowboys, and specialty rodeo acts.
  Recently in Las Vegas, NV, the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association 
awarded the Pioneer City Rodeo a commemorative flag, ceremonial belt 
buckle, and a check for $1,000. Continuing an annual tradition, the 
Pioneer City Rodeo donated their winnings to the Cowboys Crisis Fund to 
help families of injured cowboys. This is a true showing of cowboy 
honor and while the Rodeo's selection as the best in America is a grand 
achievement the example these fine people set is an even greater 
accomplishment.
  Being voted the best small outdoor rodeo in America is a great 
achievement and I am honored to represent these award winning cowboys 
in Congress. Congratulations Pioneer City Rodeo, you are the best in 
America.
