                         ROSHOLT, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Madam President, today I recognize Rosholt, SD. 
Founded in 1913, Rosholt will celebrate its 100th anniversary this 
year.
  Located in Roberts County, Rosholt possesses a strong sense of 
community that makes South Dakota an outstanding place to live and 
work. Julius Rosholt presented the plan of the town site next to the 
proposed railroad. The town of Rosholt was built and born on the 
economy of agriculture beginning with the first lots sold on August 11, 
1913. Rosholt has continued to be a strong reflection of South Dakota's 
greatest values and traditions. The community of Rosholt has much to be 
proud of and I am confident that Rosholt's success will continue well 
into the future.
  Rosholt will commemorate the centennial anniversary of its founding 
with celebrations held from August 13-18 featuring a centennial play, 
fireworks, 3K run, alumni reunion, and a kiddie parade. I would like to 
offer my congratulations to the citizens of Rosholt on this milestone 
anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the years to 
come.
