| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Post Stampede Rodeo on the grand occasion of its | ||
| 75th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For more than seven decades, the Post Stampede | ||
| Rodeo has drawn crowds to the community arena located just north | ||
| of Post, Texas; though the arena has seen a number of upgrades | ||
| over the years, visitors still enjoy the timeless charm of the | ||
| communal gathering space; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Post community upholds proud rodeo traditions | ||
| as the birthplace of the American Junior Rodeo Association and as | ||
| the host to the first all-junior rodeo in the state; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, the rodeo is managed by a board of 10 | ||
| directors and benefits from the leadership of board president | ||
| Lane Jones; all proceeds from the rodeo are directed back into | ||
| the community in the form of high school scholarships and | ||
| contributions to local civic organizations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Post Stampede Rodeo has won numerous awards | ||
| over the years, and last year, it was named the Texas Cowboy Rodeo | ||
| Association's Rodeo of the Year and the United Professional Rodeo | ||
| Association's Co-Approved Rodeo of the Year; it was also named | ||
| Organization of the Year by the Post Chamber of Commerce; it is | ||
| indeed deserving of recognition for 75 years of success in the | ||
| Post community; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby congratulate the residents of Post and all | ||
| who have contributed to the Post Stampede Rodeo's extraordinary | ||
| 75-year history and extend best wishes for continued success; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the rodeo as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
| Perry | ||
