             HONORING RUTHIE'S RUN ON ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 12, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Ruthie's Run on its 50th Anniversary.
  A visit to Lake Placid, New York, is not complete without a stop at 
Ruthie's Run, the iconic sportswear and skiwear shop. Ruthie's Run has 
offered a wide variety of skiing goods since Ruth Prime purchased 
Thaire's Ski Shop in 1968 and renamed it after a slope on Aspen 
Mountain in Colorado.
  In 1984, Cathy and Wayne Johnston left their jobs in the corporate 
world and bought Ruthie's Run to make their own mark in the community, 
and they have maintained quality service ever since. Ruthie's Run 
offers a selection for customers looking for a wide variety of price 
range and style. With Cathy's expertise to solve any wardrobe issue, 
customers never leave Ruthie's unsatisfied.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to congratulate 
Ruthie's Run on its 50th anniversary. Ruthie's is a staple in the Lake 
Placid community, and I look forward to watching the Johnstons continue 
its legacy in the years to come.
