                       GANN VALLEY, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Gann Valley, SD. 
Founded in 1885, the town of Gann Valley will celebrate its 125th 
anniversary this year.
  Located in Buffalo County, Gann Valley is a small yet steadfast 
community that embodies the spirit of South Dakota. Gann Valley's 
proximity to the Missouri River has made this town a great location for 
outdoor adventures, such as fishing, camping, and boating. Gann Valley 
has continued to be a strong reflection of South Dakota's greatest 
values and traditions.
  Gann Valley will commemorate the 125th anniversary of its founding 
with a celebration held from July 30 through August 1, featuring events 
such as a wagon train, parade, buffalo chip throwing, rooster roping, 
live minnow races, and a street dance. I would like to offer my 
congratulations to the citizens of Gann Valley on this milestone 
anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the years to 
come.
