               100TH ANNIVERSARY OF NEWBURG, NORTH DAKOTA

 Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize a 
community in North Dakota that will be celebrating its 100th 
anniversary. On July 8-9, the residents of Newburg will gather to 
celebrate their community's history and founding.
  Newburg is a vibrant community in northern North Dakota. Newburg was

established when the Great Northern Railroad built a station in the 
town and named it after an early settler to the area, Andrew Newborg. 
About a year after the railroad station opened, the town's post office 
was established. Newburg is also home to a local inventor and 
businessman, Frederick Sund. Sund began Sund Manufacturing Company, 
which employs many community residents.
  Along with Sund Manufacturing Company, Newburg is home to several 
other businesses, many of which support farming business in the town 
and surrounding area. The town also has many recreational activities, 
including fishing and duck hunting. Guide services are available to 
assist wildlife enthusiasts in the area.
  The residents of Newburg are proud of all of their accomplishments 
over the past 100 years and have planned a celebration that includes a 
parade, a car show, a variety show, a street dance with fireworks, a 
community-wide pot-luck meal, and an ecumenical church service.
  Mr. President, I ask the Senate to join me in congratulating Newburg, 
ND, and its residents on the first 100 years and in wishing them well 
through the next century. By honoring Newburg and all the other 
historic small towns of North Dakota, we keep the great pioneering 
frontier spirit alive for future generations. It is places such as 
Newburg that have helped to shape this country into what it is today, 
which is why this fine community is deserving of our recognition.
  Newburg has a proud past and a bright future.
