           RECOGNIZING THE 100TH ANNUAL FRANKLIN COUNTY FAIR

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE STIVERS

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 13, 2017

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of 
Ohio's 15th Congressional District to recognize the 100th Annual 
Franklin County Fair. Since 1917, the Franklin County Agricultural 
Society has given our Central Ohio community countless memories of 
summertime fun had at the County Fair.
  Central Ohio has a rich agricultural heritage, and that heritage is 
on full display at the Franklin County Fair. Its craft marketplace 
allows patrons to purchase the exquisite and well-made products of 
local vendors, and its Junior Fair provides young student farmers with 
the chance to showcase their hard work and skill in agriculture.
  But most importantly, the County Fair provides friends and families 
from Obetz to Hilliard time to reconnect with one another. They can 
forget their hectic lives and enjoy traditions that have been 
appreciated by generations for 100 years.
  I am grateful to the Franklin County Agricultural Society and the 
Franklin County Fair Board for ensuring the success of this year's 
event, and I am proud to recognize all who have been a part of its 
storied history.
