  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, every second weekend in September, Wayne 
County's population doubles as citizens and visitors alike attend the 
Horseshoe Riverbend Festival. Located on the banks of the Tennessee 
River in historic Clifton, Tennessee, this three day Festival 
celebrates the musical heritage championed in this great state.
  Sponsored by the Clifton Rotary Club, the Horseshoe Riverbend 
Festival brings not just music, memories, and fireworks for those in 
attendance. More than those, the three day event raises support for 
charitable needs both at home and abroad. Gathering musicians with 
crafters and families with friends, the Horseshoe Riverbend Festival 
celebrates the great traditions of Tennessee.
  I congratulate all those whose hard work and dedication to the City 
of Clifton have brought another year of success for the Festival. Tied 
together with the love of music and community, I ask my colleagues to 
join with me in celebrating the music, the local artisans, and the 29 
years of service that comes from the Horseshoe Riverbend Festival.
