                     Wednesday, September 24, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to an outstanding citizen from my 
district. Robert Flohr of Rifle, Colorado has dedicated countless hours 
to local rodeo clubs for children. His hard work has helped keep the 
rodeo tradition alive for future generations to enjoy, and I am honored 
to share his story here today.
  For over twenty years, Robert has been volunteering his time and 
efforts to everything from 4-H to the Little Britches Rodeo Association 
and local high school rodeo clubs. Children are especially dear to 
Robert's heart, and he focuses on those groups that help and educate 
children. Robert is currently the President of the Garfield County Fair 
Board, which is responsible for putting on the county fair. Five 
hundred children participate in the fair each year, where they learn 
lessons that will serve them throughout their lives, from the 
importance of providing consistent care to animals to how to keep a 
budget.
  Mr. Speaker, Robert Flohr's tireless work makes the joy and 
excitement of the Garfield County Fair possible. His commitment to 
children and the organizations that serve them is inspirational, and I 
am honored to join with my colleagues today in recognizing Robert's 
dedication and commitment to our youth. I wish him the best in his 
future endeavors.
