H.R. No. 305 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Residents of Hood County are gathering in Austin on | ||
February 13, 2019, to celebrate Hood County Day at the State | ||
Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1866, Hood County is situated on the | ||
north central plains and is traversed by the Paluxy and Brazos | ||
Rivers; the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railway came through | ||
Granbury, the county seat, in 1887, and this spurred the | ||
construction of what would become the city's historic downtown | ||
square, with the striking Hood County Courthouse as its | ||
centerpiece; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Granbury residents and visitors alike enjoy a | ||
number of unique shops and restaurants, and there are events held on | ||
the square throughout the year, including the Granbury Wine Walk, | ||
the Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration, and the Harvest Moon | ||
Festival of the Arts; and | ||
WHEREAS, Lake Granbury, a reservoir created on the Brazos | ||
River, was completed in 1969, and over the years it has helped the | ||
county grow into a popular recreation center and retirement | ||
community; outdoor enthusiasts enjoy boating, fishing, and other | ||
water sports, and City Beach Park offers opportunities for swimming | ||
and relaxation; additionally, the Acton Nature Center features 74 | ||
acres of wildflowers, oaks, and a natural pond with a wildlife | ||
viewing area, and the Moments-in-Time Hike and Bike Trail provides | ||
explorers with a look into the early history of the area; and | ||
WHEREAS, The people of Hood County take great pride in their | ||
noteworthy history as they work together to build an even brighter | ||
future, and it is indeed fitting to honor them and their unique | ||
contributions to the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize February 13, 2019, as Hood County Day | ||
at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere | ||
best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin. | ||
Lang | ||
