  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Madam Speaker, it is with great honor and pleasure 
that I stand before you today to recognize the 30th Anniversary of Yogi 
Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Portage, Indiana. To commemorate 
this special occasion, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park will be holding an 
anniversary celebration on Saturday, July 5, 2008, at Jellystone Park 
in Portage, Indiana.
  Jellystone Park was established in 1978 in order to provide camping 
and entertainment to vacationing families from across America. The 
Portage, Indiana, Jellystone Park is one of over 70 parks in the Yogi 
Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort Franchise System. The Jellystone 
Park Board of Directors are: President Rochelle Carmichael, Vice 
President Don Butler, Secretary Connie Williams, Treasurer George Hill, 
Park Director Carolyn Julovich, and members: Marlene Jacobs, Tina 
Green, and Charles Taylor.
  Every year, thousands of families vacation at the Portage Jellystone 
Park to share time together and enjoy its amenities. The Park offers a 
fulltime recreation program, a private lake, beaches, fishing, rentals, 
arcade room, and several pools.
  In addition to the weekly activities, the 30th Anniversary will 
feature a special commemorative ceremony, followed by live music at the 
Yogi Bear Stage and a fireworks display over the lake at dusk.
  Madam Speaker, at this time, I ask that you and my other 
distinguished colleagues join me in honoring and congratulating Yogi 
Bear's Jellystone Camp-Resort on their 30th Anniversary. Their many 
great accomplishments and hard work throughout the years are worthy of 
commendation.
