     HONORING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FLORIDA

  (Mr. BEAN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Madam Speaker, what do Green Cove Springs, 
Florida, and fine wine have in common?
  They both get better with age.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 150th anniversary of 
Green Cove Springs, Florida, which was founded on November 2, 1874.
  Green Cove Springs, my wife Abby's hometown, has been a thriving 
community for over 150 years. The city got its name from its beautiful 
mineral spring, which attracted folks who arrived by train or boat from 
all over the country and helped Green Cove Springs grow into the unique 
town it is today.
  Madam Speaker, 150 years is such a milestone that the city began 
their anniversary celebration on Saturday, November 2, and they are 
planning dozens of events throughout 2025.

  I invite my colleagues to join me in celebrating Green Cove Springs, 
Florida, its past, present, and future.
  Here is to 150 more years of community spirit.
