“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Mackenthun's Fine Foods in Waconia, Minnesota, for 100 years of business success. At the beginning of the 20th century, August Mackenthun began a family tradition of making homemade sausage. This tradition was commercialized in 1917 when his son, Arthur, bought a sausage maker from Germany and opened Mackenthun's Meat Market in Waconia. What began as a modest business quickly transformed into a booming success as Mackenthun's developed a reputation for producing quality meats. Today, the business is run by Kim and Laurie Mackenthun and their family. While it is now a full-service supermarket, they have maintained the family tradition by offering their signature homemade sausage in the meat department. Congratulations to the entire Mackenthun family for their 100-year commitment to the family business, for upholding their longstanding tradition, and for exemplifying the American Dream. We wish you another century of success. A Legend Lost”
