Today, I rise to recognize Madison Herring, a Girl Scout from Maquoketa, Iowa, who received the Girl Scouts' Silver Award. Madison collaborated with Vestas American Wind Technology on her sustainability project to construct a gaga ball pit, a popular children's game. After visiting a Vestas facility and learning about wind energy possibilities, she pitched her idea to the city manager, Josh Boldt, to create this recreational area with recycled materials from wind turbines. With design and material support from both Vestas and Canvus, as well as assistance from the Maquoketa Parks Department, Madison's idea was brought to life. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Madison on her award for making our community in Maquoketa better and more beautiful, and for her commitment to sustainability and our community.
