  Mr. YOHO. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this time to 
commemorate the 175th Anniversary of the founding of Marion County, 
Florida.
  I have the honor of representing part of this county, alongside 
Representatives Neal Dunn and Daniel Webster.
  For the past 175 years, Marion County has been at the heart of 
Florida's rich history and continues to be an important part of Florida 
today. The county boasts significant economic development and the title 
of``Horse Capital of the World.''
  Marion County is constantly growing and is an industry leader in the 
agriculture, equine and forestry industries. The success of these 
industries can be attributed to the hard-working and dedicated 
individuals in the community.
  As we celebrate this significant anniversary, we must reflect on the 
contributions that Marion County has made to the great state of Florida 
and the nation. I look forward to the continued success of the Marion 
County community. Congratulations.
