R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Residents of Brady are joining together on April 20, 
2006, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of 
their town; and
	WHEREAS, Situated on the banks of Brady Creek, the settlement 
was established in the 1870s by Henry and Nancy Fulcher, who donated 
land for the townsite; a store and post office were soon opened and 
in 1876, Brady was chosen to be the seat of McCulloch County; and
	WHEREAS, Ranching and farming formed the backbone of the 
local economy in the early years, with cattle, poultry, sheep and 
goats, cotton, and pecans providing important income for residents; 
in 1903, the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railway came to town, making 
Brady a principal shipping point for Central Texas, and three years 
later the people of Brady voted to incorporate; and
	WHEREAS, With more than 5,500 residents, the town has a 
dynamic citizenry and a host of businesses, churches, and 
recreation facilities, including Brady Reservoir, which provides a 
place to cool off and enjoy the sun; 42-acre Richards Park is home 
to Brady's annual July Jubilee, and it also hosts a highly 
anticipated Labor Day band festival and goat cook-off each year; 
and
	WHEREAS, Brady still boasts the small-town charm and 
friendliness that have always characterized it, and a winning 
combination of modern progress and high quality of life may ensure 
that the future of Brady's proud residents will be bright indeed; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate the residents 
of Brady on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the town's 
incorporation and extend to them sincere best wishes for success 
and good fortune in the years ahead.
