|
|
WHEREAS, The retirement of five esteemed volunteers for the |
|
Texoma Exposition and Livestock Show provides a fitting opportunity |
|
to recognize them for their long and distinguished service; and |
|
WHEREAS, A beloved tradition in Grayson County, the annual |
|
Texoma Exposition and Livestock Show allows area students to |
|
develop and showcase their skills in animal husbandry, mechanics, |
|
and creative arts and crafts; and |
|
WHEREAS, Each year, numerous volunteers oversee the |

|
WHEREAS, By giving generously of their time and talents to |
|
the Texoma Exposition and Livestock Show, these dynamic women have |
|
made a positive difference in the lives of countless young Texans, |

and they may indeed reflect with pride on their invaluable |
|
contributions; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas |
