             HONORING MAYSVILLE'S 50TH AUTUMN LEAF FESTIVAL

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                      Thursday, September 28, 2017

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
city of Maysville as its residents prepare for their 50th Autumn Leaf 
Festival.
  Each year, this event brings friendly faces together to celebrate the 
dawn of a new season. Friends and neighbors participate in games, savor 
Autumn-themed treats, and cheer as they watch a parade pass through 
their community's streets.
  The people of Maysville invest their time and energy in this festival 
because, for them, this celebration is a way to serve their neighbors 
and put a smile on their faces.
  Mr. Speaker, I cannot imagine northeast Georgia without the city of 
Maysville, whose people help make our region the welcoming place that 
we know and love.
  This fall, the leaves will take on new colors and the air will become 
cooler, but the people of Maysville will remain unchanged--their warmth 
and compassion renewed with every season, as we see through their 50th 
Autumn Leaf Festival.
