                    HONORING KNOEBELS AMUSEMENT PARK

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Knoebels Amusement 
Park, a legendary family-based institution located in Elysburg, 
Pennsylvania.
  Knoebels started from very humble beginnings in 1926. What began as a 
simple gathering place along a roaring creek has turned into a top 
amusement park in Pennsylvania and throughout the Northeast.
  I especially want to recognize Mr. Dick Knoebel and the entire 
Knoebel family for their dedication to Pennsylvania and to making very 
happy and lasting memories for so many.
  Knoebels recently earned two prestigious Golden Ticket awards from 
Amusement Today for best food and best wooden coaster, which I highly 
recommend, for the Phoenix.
  These awards are the pinnacle of recognition in the amusement 
industry.
  Knoebels is truly a place where families come together from around 
the country to create lasting, memories, and I was very, very happy to 
host my first annual constituent appreciation picnic at the park just 
this last month.

  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the entire Knoebels family for making 
Pennsylvania the happiest place on Earth.
