                      Thursday, February 14, 2019

  Mr. BUCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Town of Deer 
Trail, Colorado for commemorating its 150th year of rodeo competition.
  The first rodeo in the world was held in Deer Trail, Colorado on July 
4, 1869. Multiple organizations, including the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, 
History Channel, and Guinness Book of World Records have recognized 
this milestone. Deer Trail should be appropriately recognized for 
fostering and promoting rodeo, and thereby helping to preserve our 
Western culture.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of 
Colorado, I extend my congratulations and best wishes to the Deer Trail 
Rodeo. We look forward to their continued success.
