       RECOGNIZING THE 125TH ANNIVERSARY OF HERREID, SOUTH DAKOTA

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Herreid, SD. The town of 
Herreid will be celebrating its quasquicentennial June 26-28, 2026. 
Herreid will host quasquicentennial events, including parades, live 
music, class reunions, and much more.
  Herreid is located in Campbell County, nestled in the beautiful 
rolling prairies and open farmland of north-central South Dakota. The 
Herreid community was born when the Soo Line Railroad expanded into the 
area, creating new opportunities for farmers, ranchers, and other 
settlers. These early residents persevered through many challenges, but 
set the foundation for a community rooted in hard work, strength, and 
neighborly values. Home to more than 400 people and multiple 
businesses, Herreid is known for its rich historical heritage and 
robust rural spirit. Since its beginning 125 years ago, the community 
of Herreid continues to serve as a strong example of South Dakota 
values and traditions.
  I offer my congratulations to the citizens of Herreid on their town's 
quasquicentennial and wish them continued prosperity in the years to 
come.
