Summer Shade 150th

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I stand today to honor and celebrate the 150th anniversary of the small town of Summer Shade, Kentucky in Metcalfe County.

Home to just a few hundred people in the southwestern comer of Metcalfe County, Summer Shade is known for its strong sense of community spirit. Its unique name is thought to be derived from the large trees that once protected the town from nearby wildlife.

With loyal, hard-working locals and a town full of character and tradition, Summer Shade is a prime example of the values that our state and country stand for.

A rural and close-knit community at heart, Summer Shade is marked by its beautiful land and caring citizens.

As this town commemorates 150 years of establishment, I want to thank the citizens of Summer Shade for their patriotism and community pride. I am honored to represent them in Congress, and fight for the values that we hold dear.
