| H.R. No. 2356 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Jimmy and Betty McCain of Calallen have received | ||
| well-deserved recognition with the dedication of the 2023 Nueces | ||
| County Junior Livestock Show in their honor; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. McCain are being recognized at the | ||
| Nueces County Junior Livestock Show for their decades of volunteer | ||
| service in support of the local 4-H and FFA club members who | ||
| participate in the competition; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Jimmy McCain first became involved with the junior | ||
| livestock show nearly 75 years ago, when he was nine years old and | ||
| raising his first show pig as a member of the Banquete 4-H Club; | ||
| during his high school years with the Banquete FFA chapter, he | ||
| exhibited capons in the poultry division, securing grand champion | ||
| honors in 1953 and 1954; as a young adult, he helped conduct the | ||
| show as a volunteer, and he later served the stock show association | ||
| as general livestock superintendent and swine committee chair; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Betty McCain has also provided innumerable hours of | ||
| volunteer work to the livestock show; for years, she was the records | ||
| clerk for the swine division, and over the course of four decades, | ||
| she and her husband lent their time and talent to the swine | ||
| committee; Mrs. McCain even found time to prepare hot lunches for | ||
| committee members on show days, and she was the hit of the 50th | ||
| anniversary livestock show almost 40 years ago when she appeared in | ||
| full costume as a fictitious show queen; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the late 1990s, Mr. and Mrs. McCain were | ||
| recruited to serve on the swine committee at the San Antonio Stock | ||
| Show and Rodeo, which oversees one of the largest swine shows in the | ||
| nation; Mr. McCain co-chaired the committee for five years while | ||
| continuing to support the Nueces County swine show; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Jimmy and Betty McCain have made a positive | ||
| difference in the lives of countless young Texans through their | ||
| efforts in behalf of the Nueces County Junior Livestock Show, and it | ||
| is truly a pleasure to commend them for their contributions; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Jimmy and Betty McCain on the | ||
| dedication of the 2023 Nueces County Junior Livestock Show in their | ||
| honor and extend to the couple sincere appreciation for their many | ||
| years of service; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. and Mrs. McCain as an expression of high regard by | ||
| the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
