| WHEREAS, Proud area residents are gathering in downtown | ||
| Greenville for the inaugural Hunt County Birthday Bash on April 15, | ||
| 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The event is being held in commemoration of the | ||
| 177th anniversary of Hunt County, which was established by the | ||
| first Texas Legislature on April 11, 1846, and named after Memuchan | ||
| Hunt, the first Texas minister to the United States; Greenville, | ||
| which remains the county's largest town, was designated as the | ||
| county seat at that time, and other communities, including | ||
| Commerce, Caddo Mills, Wolfe City, and Quinlan, began to spring up | ||
| during the latter half of the century; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Hunt County is home to more than 100,000 | ||
| people, who treasure the area's unique character and sense of | ||
| community and also take advantage of its proximity to the | ||
| Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex; for residents and visitors alike, Lake | ||
| Tawakoni provides fine opportunities for camping, hiking, fishing, | ||
| and paddling, while cultural amenities in the county include the | ||
| Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum in Greenville, the North East | ||
| Texas Children's Museum in Commerce, and the planetarium at Texas | ||
| A&M University-Commerce; the county also hosts a number of events | ||
| that are enjoyed by residents of all ages, among them the Hunt | ||
| County Fair and Livestock Show and the Hunt County Festival of the | ||
| Arts; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With the theme "Happiness is Hunt County," the Hunt | ||
| County Birthday Bash offers attendees an opportunity to reflect on | ||
| the best aspects of their community and on its unique contribution | ||
| to the story of the Lone Star State, and it is a pleasure to join in | ||
| celebrating this special occasion; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the inaugural Hunt County Birthday | ||
| Bash and extend to all those in attendance sincere best wishes for | ||
| an enjoyable and memorable event. | ||
