                           BIG STONE CITY, SD

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Big Stone City, 
SD. Founded in 1885, Big Stone City celebrates its 125th anniversary 
this year.
  Located in Grant County, Big Stone City possesses the strong sense of 
community that makes South Dakota an outstanding place to live and 
work. Big Stone City is the home of Big Stone Lake, which is known for 
its excellent fishing. The city has continued to be a strong reflection 
of South Dakota's greatest values and traditions. The community of Big 
Stone City has much to be proud of and I am confident that Big Stone 
City's success will continue well into the future.
  Big Stone City commemorated the 125th anniversary of its founding 
with celebrations held July 9 through July 11. I would like to offer my 
congratulations to the citizens of Big Stone City on this milestone 
anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the years to 
come.
