H.R. No. 2021

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Hill Country Shoot-Out Barbeque sponsored by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10427 Men's Auxiliary is taking place
October 14 and 15, 2011, in Leander; and
WHEREAS, First held in 2005, the Hill Country Shoot-Out
Barbeque began as a gathering of local barbecue cooks and has grown
into a popular annual event that draws pit masters from around the
state as they contend for the top prize in categories such as
brisket, pork spare ribs, and chicken; and
WHEREAS, In addition to offering good food and friendly
competition, the Shoot-Out benefits worthwhile causes in the
community; proceeds from past events have supported initiatives
such as the VFW Patriot's Pen and Voice of Democracy essay contests
and efforts to assist wounded veterans; this year's cook-off will
serve as a fund-raiser for the post's scholarship program, which
helps deserving Williamson County students to further their
educations; and
WHEREAS, Barbecue is an iconic symbol of Texas culture, and
this occasion is certain to offer all those in attendance a fun and
memorable experience; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the VFW Post 10427 Men's Auxiliary
Hill Country Shoot-Out Barbeque and extend sincere best wishes to
the event's organizers, competitors, and participants for an
enjoyable cook-off.
