                    CONGRATULATING MARELLI'S MARKET

 Mrs. SHAHEEN. Mr. President, I wish to congratulate Marelli's 
Market in Hampton, NH, on celebrating their 100th anniversary.
  Opened in 1914 by Italian immigrants Luigi and Celestina Marelli, 
Marelli's has been serving traditional Italian fare, including cigars, 
olive oil, and homemade ice creams, to generations of families in the 
Hampton community. They are most well-known for their world-famous 
roasted cashews and peanuts, which the family continues to roast 
themselves.
  Today Marelli's is run by Luigi and Celestina's sons, Richard and 
Bobby, and grandchildren, Karen Raynes and Marcia Hannon-Buber, and the 
market has remained a cornerstone of the Hampton community. The market 
was recently entered into the New Hampshire State Register of Historic 
Places, a testament to its place in our State's history.
  Karen and Marcia have marked this celebration with a book entitled 
``Marelli's Market: The First 100 Years in Hampton, NH.'' The book 
includes a century of stories from both the family's and the business' 
history.
  I congratulate the Marellis on their 100th anniversary and thank them 
for their remarkable dedication to their family, their business, and 
the Hampton community.
