                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 25, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Elaine Bohling, of Greenfield, Iowa, for being selected as 
Iowan of the Day at the 2015 Iowa State Fair.
  Since 1997, ten nominees each year are named Iowan of the Day, 
receiving a special day of recognition at the Fair. The Iowa State Fair 
Blue Ribbon Foundation looks for individuals across the state who 
personify the greatness of Iowa by displaying strong work ethic, 
loyalty to helping others, and an exceptional sense of Iowa pride, all 
things easily seen in Elaine.
  Elaine Bohling is known as an advocate for youth and an eager 
volunteer. She volunteers with Living History Farms, Iowa Machine Shed 
Thanksgiving Dinner, Legion Auxiliary, Des Moines Playhouse, Friends of 
the Library, 4-H and many more organizations. One of her favorites, 
though, is the Iowa State Fair, where you can find her working with the 
Iowa 4-H Foundation, Iowa Egg Council, Iowa Tourism, and Keep Iowa 
Beautiful.

  Mr. Speaker, Elaine's efforts embody the Iowa spirit and I am honored 
to represent her, and Iowans like her, in the United States Congress. I 
know that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in congratulating Elaine for her 
achievements and wish her nothing but continued success.
