                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 20, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Carol Sparr of Red Oak, Iowa, for being inducted into the 
Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Iowa State Fair. 
Inductees to the Hall of Fame must demonstrate dedication, 
encouragement, commitment and guidance to Iowa's 4-H students 
throughout the years.
  Carol grew up in Rulo, Nebraska where she attended Peru State 
College. She and her husband, Ted, now reside in Red Oak, Iowa. Carol 
became involved in 4-H when her daughter Trasy joined the organization. 
For 35 years Carol has served as the Food and Nutrition Superintendent 
for the county fair and has helped oversee the annual bake sale. She 
now spends most of her free time volunteering in the community at Meals 
on Wheels, the Montgomery County Board of Health, and the First United 
Methodist Church of Red Oak.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Carol for earning this award. 
It is truly an honor to represent her, and Iowans like her, in the 
United States Congress. I urge my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives to join me in congratulating Carol for her numerous 
accomplishments in the 4-H community. I wish her nothing but continued 
success moving forward.
