  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I stand today to honor and celebrate the 
150th anniversary of the small town of Summer Shade, Kentucky in 
Metcalfe County.
  Home to just a few hundred people in the southwestern comer of 
Metcalfe County, Summer Shade is known for its strong sense of 
community spirit. Its unique name is thought to be derived from the 
large trees that once protected the town from nearby wildlife.
  With loyal, hard-working locals and a town full of character and 
tradition, Summer Shade is a prime example of the values that our state 
and country stand for.
  A rural and close-knit community at heart, Summer Shade is marked by 
its beautiful land and caring citizens.
  As this town commemorates 150 years of establishment, I want to thank 
the citizens of Summer Shade for their patriotism and community pride. 
I am honored to represent them in Congress, and fight for the values 
that we hold dear.
