R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Sweetwater Jaycees are visiting the State
Capitol on February 4-6, 2013, to share valuable lessons about one
of the Lone Star State's most misunderstood residents, the snake;
and
WHEREAS, Each year the Sweetwater Jaycees sponsor the World's
Largest Rattlesnake Roundup, a three-day extravaganza originally
conceived by a group of area farmers and ranchers plagued by an
overpopulation of rattlesnakes; and
WHEREAS, Bringing their show on the road, group members have
come to Austin to offer their fellow Texans snake demonstrations,
information on snake safety, and the ever-popular snake "petting"
exhibit; and
WHEREAS, This fun and informative event is always a favorite
at the State Capitol, and it is a pleasure to recognize the
Sweetwater Jaycees for another unforgettable presentation; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby welcome the Sweetwater Jaycees to the State
Capitol and extend to them sincere best wishes for a successful and
memorable visit; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
