                    RECOGNIZING THE WINKLER GALLERY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the Winkler Gallery and congratulate them on their 20th anniversary.
  Since its creation in 2003, the Winkler Gallery and Art Education 
Center has provided a place for artists in DuBois, Pennsylvania, to 
create art in many different forms.
  The Winkler Gallery originally began as a fine art collaborative 
named after the famed watercolor artist Perry Winkler. Today, the 
Winkler Gallery features more than 20 different artists in their 
collection and serves as a place for locals to come learn about the 
different types of art available at the gallery.
  The Winkler Gallery remains a staple in our community and currently 
serves as the host to Pennsylvania-15 high school art students who 
participate in the annual Congressional Art Competition. The gallery is 
also home to a notable exhibit, the Children's Carousel. The exhibit 
was originally built in London in 1896 and is the world's most complete 
and original English carousel.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the Winkler Gallery on 
20 years of being a home to the fine art and culture available in 
northern Pennsylvania. Their art brings even more beauty to a naturally 
beautiful place in our region.
