To designate Schmidt's Bahama Mama sausage as the official sausage of Ohio in recognition of Schmidt's 100th anniversary at the Ohio State Fair.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       WHEREAS, The Schmidt brand has been an integral part of Central Ohio since 1886 when Schmidt's first opened as a packing house; and

       WHEREAS, The Schmidt family and brand will be celebrating their centennial anniversary as part of the Ohio State Fair this summer; and

        WHEREAS, Schmidt's has been a proud participant in the Sale of Champions for numerous years at the Ohio State Fair. The All-Ohio State Fair Band has visited Schmidt's Sausage Haus on the fairgrounds to play a birthday tribute to George Schmidt for nearly 80 years and continues this tradition for John Schmidt; and

       WHEREAS, Hundreds of thousands of hungry Ohioans have enjoyed Schmidt's signature sausage, the Bahama Mama; and

        WHEREAS, There are many wonderful sausages in Ohio, but only one Bahama Mama with its delicate blend of spices; now therefore be it

       RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, designate Schmidt's Bahama Mama sausage as the official sausage of Ohio in recognition of Schmidt's 100th anniversary at the Ohio State Fair; and be it further

       RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the Schmidt family in Columbus and the news media of Ohio.
