“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Woodbine Opry on its 25th anniversary and to celebrate its legacy of old-time music and community gatherings. The Woodbine Opry is located in Woodbine, Georgia, and is one of the longest running, free live music venues in the State of Georgia. The Woodbine Opry has provided bluegrass, gospel, and classic country music to southeast Georgia for the last 25 years, ever since it renovated the Old Woodbine School to house the venue. Even though the auditorium in the Old Woodbine School seats less than 200 patrons, the Opry's live streams and social media pages have 15,000 to 20,000 viewers each month from music lovers all over the Nation and the world. This month, the Opry celebrated its anniversary by showcasing songs and stories reminiscent of the days when the Opry first began. The week of festivities included a bluegrass-gospel jam session, an electric country music night, and a live band that had the old school auditorium floor packed full of dancers. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Woodbine Opry, the staff, and musicians for achieving this accomplishment and for bringing so much joy and good music to Georgia's First Congressional District.
