                 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF SPANGLER DUM DUMS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, this past Saturday, I joined the community 
of Bryan, Ohio, and people from across our region to celebrate the 
100th anniversary of Spangler Candy Company's famous Dum Dums.
  These lollipops and Spangler itself are true Williams County 
institutions that have made northwest Ohio proud for generations.
  It was great to see so many friendly faces, both young and old, 
including local officials, community members, families, children, and 
members of the namesake Spangler family themselves.
  Dum Dums are so synonymous with Bryan, Ohio, their town water tower 
is made to look like a bundle of these famous suckers.
  I don't miss an opportunity to share these homegrown gems. Earlier 
this month, I brought a bunch of lollipops to each of my colleagues on 
the House Appropriations Committee to keep them sweet and kind.
  I invite all my colleagues to stop by my office to grab a Dum Dum or 
come out to Bryan to tour Spangler's magnificent facility.
  Cheers to many more years of these sweet treats and delightful people 
of all ages across the globe. Onward, Dum Dums. Onward, Spangler. 
Onward, Bryan, Ohio. We are so proud of you.
