         RECOGNIZING THE HUNTINGDON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, FAIR

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, in 1831, a tradition was 
started in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, which would go on to become 
a staple of the summertime agriculture expos.
  This August 9, the Huntingdon County Fair is celebrating its 125th 
fair, located at their 69-acre site, which has evolved over the decades 
to boast hundreds of agricultural exhibits. Ranging from equine shows 
to wine tasting, the Huntingdon County Fair provides areas of interest 
for almost everyone.
  Mr. Speaker, as a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, I am 
proud to rise today to congratulate the people of Huntingdon County and 
those countless volunteers and community members who have made this 
time-honored event a Pennsylvania tradition, including the parents and 
friends of 4-H, FAA youth members, and the Huntingdon County 
Agricultural Association.
  Here's to wishing them 125 more successful fairs for the next 
generation and generations to come.
