H.C.R. No. 32
 
 
 
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, Many residents of Tyler will be in Austin to
  celebrate Tyler Days at the State Capitol from February 26 to
  February 27, 2007, and this occasion offers an ideal opportunity to
  extol the city's many virtues; and
         WHEREAS, Nestled among the Piney Woods of East Texas, Tyler's
  great natural beauty goes hand in hand with the energy and amenities
  of a bustling modern city, and its residents take justifiable pride
  in their remarkable hometown; and
         WHEREAS, Tyler has through the years benefited greatly from
  the region's abundant natural resources, and agriculture has long
  provided a strong foundation for the local economy; cotton was
  originally the predominant cash crop, but by the turn of the century
  the area was shipping 100 railroad cars of peaches a day and more
  strawberries than the rest of the state combined; and
         WHEREAS, A devastating peach blight in 1902 soon revealed
  itself a blessing in disguise, as farmers turned to growing roses
  that are now Tyler's most famous export; by the 1940s, more than
  half the nation's rosebushes came from Tyler, and today the city is
  renowned as the home of the Texas Rose Festival and the Municipal
  Rose Garden and Museum; and
         WHEREAS, In 1930, the area's sandy loam yielded up a
  different kind of bounty when the East Texas oil field was
  discovered, and the petroleum industry quickly became a mainstay of
  the local economy, joined more recently by manufacturing and the
  timber industry; and
         WHEREAS, Tyler is also acknowledged to be the area's
  preeminent medical and educational center, and the presence of
  numerous state-of-the-art health care facilities contributes
  greatly to the well-being of local citizens, while the city's
  top-flight colleges and university open new vistas of learning and
  opportunity to thousands of students each year; and
         WHEREAS, The city's recreational options are many and varied,
  and visitors may choose such diverse and appealing destinations as
  the Caldwell Zoo, Tyler Rose Garden, Discovery Science Place, and
  the Tyler Museum of Art, while fishing and boating enthusiasts can
  pursue their pleasures at Lakes Palestine, Tyler, and Tyler East;
  and
         WHEREAS, Tyler's greatest asset continues to be its dynamic
  and friendly citizens, and even as they look back with pride and
  affection on the city's notable past, they eagerly embrace the
  challenges and opportunities that lie ahead; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby designate February 26 to February 27, 2007, as Tyler Days at
  the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere
  best wishes for a memorable and enjoyable visit to Austin.
