               TRIBUTE TO ASHLEY KEMMIS AND BRIANNA PAGE

<bullet> Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Ashley Kemmis and Brianna Page for their entrepreneurial 
spirit in Valley County.
  Ashley and Brianna saw a need in the community for more options for 
women's clothing after Shopko closed in Glasgow in 2019.
  They teamed up together to launch Thistle and Thread, an online 
women's clothing boutique. Since they launched their website one year 
ago, Ashley and Brianna's project flourished into a successful 
operation out of Eastern Montana.
  Women across the country can purchase the boutique's clothing online 
and those in eastern Montana can visit their storefront in Glasgow.
  It is my honor to recognize Ashley and Brianna for taking the 
initiative to successfully launch Thistle and Thread. Thistle and 
Thread is a now a proud part of the Glasgow community, and I am 
grateful for Ashley and Brianna's entrepreneurship.<bullet>
