  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 4th Annual 
Taste of Ethiopia held on August 6, 2016. The Taste of Ethiopia is a 
celebration as well as a cultural immersion to showcase music, food, 
art, crafts, culture, fashion show, and Ethiopian dance. It allows 
visitors a taste of Ethiopia without ever having to leaving Colorado, 
and also serves to bring all Ethiopians together. It is a celebration 
that combines fun and education.

  I am proud that the 6th District of Colorado is home to the largest 
Ethiopian community in the state of Colorado, and I am honored to have 
worked with members of this community on my staff. The Ethiopian 
community not only offers a beautiful and vibrant culture, but their 
dedication to hard work, family, and education, are also attributes 
that can be admired by all. The achievements of the Ethiopian community 
are highly visible in my Congressional District. I look forward to 
taking part in the festivities again this year with my esteemed 
constituents.
  I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Taste of 
Ethiopia and its entire staff for their hard work these past four 
years.
