                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Cranberry Township and the celebration of Community Day on 
the 4th of July 2006.
  Cranberry Township's Community Day began over 100 years ago and as a 
celebration of the United States' Bicentennial in 1976. The events of 
this celebration included a parade, musket shoot, battle of the barrels 
contest, bonfire, sing-along, and fireworks.
  Cranberry Township's Annual Community Day has evolved into an 
opportunity to highlight a number of local non-profit organizations. It 
has continued to grow and change to include, not only non-profits, but 
also businesses and vendors throughout the region. The annual festivity 
has expanded to include over 100 booths, activities, and events 
throughout the entire Cranberry Community Park with over 20,000 people 
attending.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring these courageous soldiers on this day of 
Independence. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute these great 
Americans.
