WHEREAS, The Washington's Birthday Celebration Association,

Laredo's 122nd commemoration of George Washington's birthday from
January 24 through February 25, 2019; and
WHEREAS, Every year, citizens of Laredo mark the birthday of
the Father of Our Country, in tribute to a champion of liberty who
is revered in countries throughout the Americas; for nearly a
century, the observance has been organized by the Washington's
Birthday Celebration Association, which is led this year by its
2018-2019 president, Jay Puig; and
WHEREAS, Since the celebration's beginning as a two-day
affair in 1898, it has gradually evolved into a grand festival
encompassing numerous events and drawing some 400,000 people; those
attending the festivities enjoy marching bands and parade floats,
spectacular fireworks displays, food, games, and performances by
entertainers from both sides of the border; additionally, the
association annually selects two individuals to portray George and
Martha Washington at various celebration events, and this year the
honor has gone to Ernest Martin Bruni III and Anna Isabel Alvarez;
and
WHEREAS, This much-anticipated celebration exemplifies the
spirit and enthusiasm of Laredoans and the pride they take in their
city and country; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
