                      A TRIBUTE TO SHADE TREE AUTO

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 27, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Shade Tree Auto of Grimes, Iowa for being named the 2016 
Grimes Business of the Year at the Grimes Chamber of Commerce Annual 
Dinner and Awards Ceremony earlier this year.
  The Business of the Year award celebrates a local business that has 
helped serve the community in many different ways. Owner Clint Dudley 
founded the automotive repair shop in 2001 in Johnston, Iowa, and moved 
the business to Grimes in 2005, where a larger facility allowed them to 
conduct repairs quicker and to accommodate more types of vehicles.
  Shade Tree Auto has been the recipient of numerous awards over the 
years, including twice as the Blue Ribbon recipient of the Dream Big 
Small Business Award by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and five times 
with the AAA Top Shop Award. Not only is Shade Tree Auto a great 
business, they are also generous in giving back to the community, 
lending financial or volunteer help to as many events in Grimes as they 
can.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to represent business like Shade Tree Auto in 
the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize 
them today for this outstanding accomplishment. I ask that all of my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Shade Tree Auto for receiving this award and in wishing 
them nothing but continued success.
