                           HON. WAYNE ALLARD

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 10, 1996

  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the 20th anniversary of the Long's Peak Scottish Highland 
Festival which will be celebrated September 5-8 in Estes Park, CO. In 
the past, I have had the honor of participating in this event which 
highlights the contributions and ethnic cultural roots of the Celtic 
people of the United States.
  I would like to commend the festival committee on its ability to 
orchestrate one of the largest and most diversified events in North 
America. Not only does the Long's Peak Scottish Highland Festival 
celebrate the long-term alliance of the United Sates, Canada, and Great 
Britain, it exemplifies the attributes of hard work and perseverance.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to congratulate the Long's Peak 
Scottish Highland Festival on 20 very fine years, and to honor one of 
the largest events of its king in North America by recognizing 
September 5-8, 1996, as ``20 Years of Celtic Tradition Week.''
