  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mark Pezzalla and 
Five Star Entertainment as the recipient of the 2018 Greater 
Fayetteville Chamber Mayor's Small Business of the Year Award.
  Located in Fayetteville, Five Star Entertainment is one of North 
Carolina's most sought-after entertainment venues. From providing a 
bride her perfect wedding celebration to hosting elegant military 
balls, Five Star Entertainment has the equipment and professionals to 
ensure every event is spectacular. With a focus on serving our region, 
Five Star Entertainment also donates their services free-of-charge for 
many community events that require entertainment and sound services.
  Army veteran and owner Mark Pezzalla has provided a brilliant venue 
to Fayetteville over the more than three decades he's served as Five 
Star Entertainment's President. Through his hard work and dedication, 
this venue has been able to host events that bring together 
Fayetteville, Fort Bragg and the entire region. Mark currently sits on 
the Boards of several non-profit organizations in the area, and has 
made his company a staple of service in the community.
  Mark and Five Star Entertainment are deserving of this award and I 
wish them success as they continue to provide excellent service to our 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in celebrating Mark Pezzalla and 
Five Star Entertainment on winning the 2018 Greater Fayetteville 
Chamber Mayor's Small Business of the Year Award.
