                     CONGRATULATING VEVAY, INDIANA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BARON P. HILL

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 8, 2009

  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, on April 15th, CBS's Early Show announced 
Budget Travel Magazine's Top 10 ``America's Coolest Small Towns'', 
ranking Vevay, Indiana, Number 4. I would like to give my heartfelt 
congratulations to the Vevay community and all of Switzerland County.
  Vevay was selected based on the ``quality of life, arts and 
restaurant scenes and proximity to nature'' of the town. The Swiss Wine 
Festival, events such as First Fridays and Second Saturdays, art 
galleries, and local restaurants all contributed to receiving this 
honor. Close to 8,000 people voted for Vevay.
  As Vevay's representative in Congress, I can certainly attest to its 
merit in winning this award. I always enjoy visiting Vevay, and while 
biased, think it should have been ranked Number 1!
  Again, congratulations to the residents of Vevay. This distinction is 
much deserved, and I am proud to represent you in the Ninth District.
