“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Everson's Hardware in Waconia, Minnesota, for 50 years of business success. Ron and Mary Ann Everson bought the store back in 1966, when they were just a young couple with two growing children. Throughout the years, Everson's Hardware has become a well-respected and established part of the community, and the Everson family has realized their American Dream. Eventually, Ron and Mary Ann passed the store along the way to Tracy and Deborah Everson, who continue to work behind the counter in this family store today. Small, family-operated businesses are what make Minnesota so great. They make our community special. I want to thank the Everson family for their lasting contribution to Waconia. Congratulations and best of luck on the next 50 years. ____________________”
