[Congressional Record Volume 156, Number 120 (Tuesday, August 10, 2010)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1563] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] RECOGNIZING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROSY ROOT BEER OPEN ______ HON. MIKE QUIGLEY of illinois in the house of representatives Tuesday, August 10, 2010 Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and salute the 40th Annual Rosy Root Beer Open, a proud Chicago tradition of food, families, and fun. A complete description of this unique and wonderful event is not possible--suffice it to say that it's a melting pot of reunion, carnival, and a small court tennis tournament. Community leader and diehard Chicago Blackhawks fan Lee ``Rosy'' Rosenberg and his family have been organizing the day of competition, food, games, photos and conversation since 1971. I expect the tradition will continue for generations to come. All are welcome and anyone who wants to get involved in one of its many committees just has to show up--just know that Rosy recommends that you ``wear gym shoes, leave your brain at home, and don't eat for a week prior.'' I am looking forward to attending this year for a memorable summer day filled with, as Rosy promises, ``extreme serious nonsense.'' Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the Rosy Root Beer Open on its milestone, and in wishing the best of luck to this year's Open participants. ____________________
