    RECOGNIZING THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE VILLAGE OF SURING

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. REID J. RIBBLE

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Mr. RIBBLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 100th 
anniversary of the Village of Suring, located in Oconto County.
   Suring applied to the Oconto Circuit Court for its incorporation as 
a Village in 1914. Residents voted in favor of incorporation in January 
1915 and immediately elected W.J. Thielke as the first Village 
President.
   Today, Suring is a wonderful destination to live, work and visit in 
the northern part of the 8th District. Outdoor enthusiasts and families 
looking for recreational opportunities can visit Suring to hike the 
Nicolet State Trail, relax for a weekend at the local campgrounds, 
enjoy a few rounds of golf, or go for a ride on the snowmobile trails 
during the winter months.
   This is truly a time for the village residents to reflect on their 
shared history, but also share in the excitement of their future and 
what the next 100 years may bring. As Congressman, I am proud to 
represent the citizens of the Village of Suring and encourage everyone 
to join me in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Village of 
Suring in 2015.
