  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th 
Anniversary of Douglas County Fair and Rodeo. Since the First Annual 
Fair

[[Page E574]]

in 1918, the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo has been a hallmark of our 
great state. With families from the Front Range and beyond, traveling 
to see Colorado's agriculture and livestock on full display.
  The diligent work of the Douglas County Fair Foundation is what keeps 
this time-honored tradition going strong. With tens of thousands in 
attendance the achievement and hard work of the local volunteers is 
self-evident. The community benefits include immense support of local 
business, family entertainment and a focus on agricultural education 
for farmers and ranchers across the state.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I applaud 
the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo that honors our rich agricultural and 
ranching roots. We look forward to their continued success as they keep 
this strong western tradition alive. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to 
celebrate the centennial celebration of the Douglas County Fair and 
Rodeo.
