              100TH ANNIVERSARY OF HANNAFORD, NORTH DAKOTA

 Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a 
community in North Dakota that will be celebrating its 100th 
anniversary. On June 30-July 1, the residents of Hannaford will gather 
to celebrate their community's history and founding.
  Hannaford is a Community of Progress and Proud Heritage, located in 
the heart of east-central North Dakota. Since the day of its founding 
by Jules M. Hannaford the community has been small but very active.
  Hannaford has plenty to offer its residents and visitors. There is 
always something to do, from visiting the park, to bowling, hunting, 
and playing around at the baseball complex.
  The community has planned a wonderful weekend celebration to 
commemorate its 100th anniversary. The celebration preparation includes 
a bingo fundraiser, a 2002 Centennial Historical Book sale, and a 
cookbook sale. The money raised will be used for the celebration 
festivities.
  I ask the Senate to join me in congratulating Hannaford, ND, and its 
residents on their first 100 years and in wishing them well through the 
next century. By honoring Hannaford and all the other historic small 
towns of North Dakota, we keep the great pioneering frontier spirit 
alive for future generations. It is places such as Hannaford that have 
helped to shape this country into what it is today, which is why this 
fine community is deserving of our recognition.
  Hannaford has a proud past and a bright future.
