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 | ||

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 | ||

memorable visit; and, be it further | ||
