	WHEREAS, Members of the Ennis Chamber of Commerce are
	visiting the State Capitol on March 28, 2017, and this occasion
	presents a welcome opportunity to honor them for their support of
	the city of Ennis; and
	WHEREAS, Known as the Bluebonnet City, Ennis grew from a stop
	on the Houston and Texas Central Railway line into a vibrant modern
	city with myriad opportunities for economic development, civic
	involvement, and personal and family achievement; and
	WHEREAS, The city's dynamic business leaders, strong
	economy, and proximity to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex have
	drawn a variety of notable businesses and industries, and the
	chamber's emphasis on commercial growth and education have further
	contributed to prosperity in the area; and
	WHEREAS, Amid plentiful contemporary amenities, Ennis
	retains its small-town charm, highlighted by its historic downtown
	business district, and it is currently participating in the Texas
	Main Street Program; each year, the town hosts such popular events
	as the Polka Festival, a celebration of the city's Czech heritage,
	and the Bluebonnet Trails Festival; it is also home to a number of
	arts and entertainment venues, and nearby Lake Bardwell attracts
	outdoor recreation enthusiasts, while fans of motor sports enjoy
	events at the Texas Motorplex throughout the year; and
	WHEREAS, Working for more than a century to enhance the
	city's well-being, the Ennis Chamber of Commerce has greatly
	benefited its community, and everyone associated with the
	organization merits the highest praise for their civic engagement;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend the members of the Ennis Chamber of
	Commerce for their endeavors in behalf of their fellow citizens and
