FULTON COUNTY FAIR
(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, I rise today to talk about a treasured
northwest Ohio tradition in Ohio's Ninth District, the Fulton County
Fair.
It is the second largest fair in the State of Ohio, which has 88
counties, surpassed only by the State fair. Hallelujah, Fulton County.
I was honored to spend the day there recently with residents and
visitors from other counties.
I was able to listen to farmers and veterans at the hallowed Veterans
bean dinner and people both young and old from far and wide. The show
barns were full of animals and people, and the weather was heavenly.
I spoke with constituents from six of the eight counties I represent
and got a famous Fulton County Dairy Association milkshake, a farm-
fresh cheeseburger, and got to meet hundreds from across the vast
northwestern Ohio region I represent and beyond, even Michigan.
The Fulton County Fair welcomed a record 180,000 visitors over the
opening weekend.
Last but truly not least, I spent time speaking with the dedicated
director of the Fulton County Farm Bureau, Roy Norman. I learned about
some of the great soil and conservation work being done in this mighty,
hardworking county.
Let me invite all visitors from our region and across our country to
check out the Fulton County Fair next year. Set up your campers. You
won't be disappointed. Onward, Fulton County.
