                      Wednesday, January 17, 2018

  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 
Pennsylvania State Showmen's Association (P.S.S.A.) on the occasion of 
their 50th anniversary.
  I look forward to joining them Friday evening at the annual 
Pennsylvania State Showmen's Association Convention as they celebrate 
this monumental milestone.
  The Pennsylvania State Showmen's Association (P.S.S.A.) has served to 
keep the Outdoor Amusement Industry alive and strong through their 
combined efforts.
  The P.S.S.A. has grown because its members have learned to put their 
individual goals aside for the common goals of the Industry. This unity 
really has the strength and foresight necessary to continue its work 
into the next century.
  The annual convention and trade show brings together board members, 
volunteers and staff from most of the 109 Pennsylvania county and local 
fairs.
  For 14 years its support of scholarships has generated more than 
$200,000. The P.S.S.A.'s investment in our Commonwealth's next 
generation of leadership is to be commended.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank the Pennsylvania State Showmen's Association for 
working to the best of its ability to keep the Outdoor Amusement 
Industry the best of America's Family Entertainment.
  Congratulations and Happy 50th anniversary.
