                       TRIBUTE TO CLINT CALLICOTT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MARSHA BLACKBURN

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 9, 2015

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, the Tennessee 7th Congressional 
District, home to Williamson County, was shaped in part by its long-
time leader, and a dear friend of mine, Clint Callicott.
  Mr. Callicott's time on Earth will be remembered by his service to 
others. During his time on the Williamson county commission, as county 
Mayor and in the Tennessee General Assembly, Clint served the people of 
his community with distinction and passion. He leaves behind a legacy 
of love; love for his family, community, and the land.
  Mr. Callicott was considered the ``father'' of the Williamson County 
Agriculture Exposition Park, home to rodeos, trade shows, and the 
Williamson County Fair. In gratitude for his work in establishing the 
Park, the facility's arena is named in his honor.
  It is fitting that Clint Callicott spent his last hours on his family 
farm before joining our Savior in Heaven. I ask my colleagues to join 
with me in celebrating one of Williamson County's greatest men. My 
thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful wife Carolyn, sons Claude 
and Clayton, and his extended family.
