H.R. No. 123 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Every year, Asia Times Square in Grand Prairie | ||
invites the public to join together to celebrate the Lunar New Year | ||
with an abundance of festivities; and | ||
WHEREAS, Asia Times Square, a hub for shopping, business, and | ||
culture for Grand Prairie's Asian American community, is one of the | ||
largest Asian markets in Texas; the development serves as the venue | ||
for a host of events, including its Mid-Autumn Festival, its Hong | ||
Kong Market Place Music and Food Festival, and its Lunar New Year | ||
celebration, which is now in its 15th year; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year festival, which begins with the | ||
first new moon of the lunar calendar, is one of the most important | ||
religious and cultural events for people of Asian heritage; this | ||
special holiday ushers in the spring season, when members of the | ||
Asian community reflect on the past and make plans for the future, | ||
and it is celebrated with a variety of vibrant traditions that are | ||
intended to bring prosperity, good health, and happiness to oneself | ||
and others; and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout its existence, Asia Times Square in Grand | ||
Prairie has been a popular destination for area Texans, and events | ||
such as its much-anticipated Lunar New Year festival are among the | ||
many ways that the shopping complex contributes to the economic and | ||
cultural richness of the community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Asia Times Square in | ||
Grand Prairie for its annual Lunar New Year celebration and extend | ||
sincere best wishes to all those who are taking part in the | ||
observance; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Asia Times Square in Grand Prairie as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
