                     Wednesday, September 25, 2002

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
the Cuyahoga County Agricultural Society, for their creation, 
organization, support and promotion of the annual Cuyahoga County 
Fair—now in its 106th year.
  Although most of Cuyahoga County is no longer agricultural, the two 
hundred members of the Agricultural Society present the public with a 
glimpse of the agriculture and farming of days gone by, as well as 
current and future agricultural products and trends.
  The Cuyahoga County Fair is an annual rite of summer for the entire 
Cleveland community. Reflecting the mission of the Cuyahoga County 
Agricultural Society, the Fair is a yearly opportunity for education, 
exhibits, and demonstrations of agricultural products, past and 
present, that are unique to our community. Annual outings to the Fair, 
as families

have done for over one hundred years, provide all ages with a fun and 
educational experience, and create memories that connect each new 
generation of fair-goers.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honor and recognition of the Cuyahoga 
County Agricultural Society, on the significant occasion of the 
Society's 106th Annual Cuyahoga County Fair. The County Fair has 
provided millions of citizens the opportunity to explore the County's 
agricultural existence in an educational, creative and inviting manner. 
This annual event has been a culturally significant aspect of our 
entire community, and a wonderful event for citizens of all ages.
