	H.R. No. 103



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Continuing a beloved tradition, the Hispanic
	Heritage Ambassadors DFW organization and the City of Grand Prairie
	are presenting the annual Fiestas Patrias celebration, which
	commemorates Dieciséis de Septiembre, an important holiday for many
	Texans of Mexican descent; and
	WHEREAS, Dieciséis de Septiembre commemorates the day in 1810
	when Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the parish priest for the
	town of Dolores, issued the call to action that ultimately led to
	Mexico's independence from colonial Spanish rule; Father Hidalgo's
	proclamation came to be known as El Grito, or the Cry of Dolores,
	and in 1825, the Republic of Mexico officially declared Dieciséis
	de Septiembre as the nation's independence day; and
	WHEREAS, The Fiestas Patrias event in Grand Prairie features
	performances by mariachi bands and folkloric dancers, and attendees
	can enjoy an array of traditional Mexican foods; this
	much-anticipated gathering draws people from throughout the area to
	take part in an exciting and enjoyable cultural celebration; and
	WHEREAS, Grand Prairie's Fiestas Patrias get-together is a
	testament to the strength and vitality of the city's Mexican
	American community, and this festive occasion is indeed deserving
	of special recognition; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the Fiestas
	Patrias event hosted by Hispanic Heritage Ambassadors DFW and the
	City of Grand Prairie and extend to the organizers and participants
	sincere best wishes for a successful gathering.

	Turner of Tarrant
