                       Tuesday, September 9, 2014

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the Paul 
Bunyan Days in Fort Bragg, California, on the event of its 75th 
Anniversary August 29, Sunday, through September 1, 2014.
  For seventy-five years, the citizens of Fort Bragg have celebrated 
and honored the history of the community and its foundation in logging. 
The first celebration of Paul Bunyan, a giant lumberjack in American 
Folklore, was held in the year 1939. As the economy and culture of the 
coast continue to change, this three-day celebration will continue to 
honor the town's roots, history, and traditions.
  With the dedication of its residents, Fort Bragg's Paul Bunyan Days 
will surely continue to be a wonderful celebration for the entire 
family. Please join me in expressing hearty congratulations to Fort 
Bragg's Paul Bunyan Days on the occasion of the festival's 75th 
anniversary.
