Mr. CRANK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight The Flying W Wranglers band, who are part of The Flying W Wranglers Original Western Stage Show at the Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs. Flying W Ranch was opened in 1947 by the Wilson family, who hosted their first potluck in 1953. It has evolved into the entertaining and iconic dinner and show that it is today which hosts hundreds of people on a regular occurrence.

The Flying W Wranglers band, which was formally named in 1957, have performed at every show at the ranch since 1953 and are the second oldest Western performance band in the world. Mr. Speaker, I can personally attest to the Flying W Wranglers' skill and musical ability. They truly are talented and entertaining cowboys. I am proud to have such a historic and family-friendly Western show in my district.
