WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to

and to welcome the group of visiting delegates, which includes
elected officials, business and community members of the
Granbury Chamber of Commerce, and the members of Leadership
Granbury and Junior Leadership Granbury; and
WHEREAS, Granbury, the county seat of Hood County, was
founded in 1854 and incorporated in 1871; it is situated on Lake
Granbury, where the community has gained a reputation for the
many enjoyable celebrations, festivals, and events that draw
visitors from near and far; a region with a rich history, Hood
County was ranked sixth in growth rate among United States
counties between 1970 and 1980; Granbury has continued to
maintain and improve its historic downtown square, the area's
beautifully restored homes, and the famed Hood County
Courthouse; Granbury has been recognized by USA Today as the Best
Historic Small Town in Texas in 2019, 2020, and 2021; and
WHEREAS, Granbury and Hood County are known for the
flourishing local agribusiness, which includes the production of
such crops as hay, peanuts, and pecans, and for the area's
natural gas production and thriving tourism industry; music and
performance venues including the Granbury Opera House and
Granbury Live provide an impressive array of activities for
visitors and residents; and
WHEREAS, Hood County Day at the Capitol is indeed a fitting
opportunity for members of the Granbury Chamber of Commerce and
business community and residents of Hood County to join together
at the State Capitol to celebrate their county and its rich
history as they look ahead toward its bright future; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Hood County on their
many contributions to the prosperity of the Lone Star State and
extend to all best wishes for a successful and memorable Hood
County Day at the Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
