  Ms. CROCKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize all that made 
the 6th Annual Fish N' Kids Festival a fun and educational success for 
the young people across my district. On Saturday, June 6th, well over 
two hundred children and their families gathered at William Blair, Jr. 
Pond in South Dallas to spend the day learning how to fish, building 
community, and creating lasting memories.
  I would like to thank Sr. Corporal Robert Serrano and the Southeast 
Patrol Division at the Dallas Police Department for providing safety 
and security during the event, and the Dallas Police Community Affairs 
team, especially Officer Brian Joseph, for their assistance. I would 
also like to recognize Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) 
Biologist Cynthia Fox Holt and her team for their assistance, as well 
as the volunteers who taught the children how to cast and fish. TPWD 
also kindly provided the necessary equipment for children who did not 
already have proper fishing gear.

  Another special thanks to Dallas Parks and Recreation (DPR) Board 
Member Daniel Wood and the DPR team for ensuring the park had the 
necessary amenities to accommodate visitors throughout the day.
  Finally, I want to thank my District office for their hard work and 
dedication to the Fish N' Kids event over the last six years. As this 
is our last Fish N' Kids as Team Crockett, I am so appreciative of 
their service to the thousands of children and families in the 30th 
Congressional District.
