                           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.
