|
WHEREAS, Residents of the city of West are coming to Austin on |
|
|
March 2, 2011, to celebrate West Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established at its present site in 1881 and |
|
|
officially becoming West nine years later, this small but vibrant |
|
|
community, which was named after farmer, postmaster, and |
|
|
businessman Thomas West, retains many of the same charms that drew |
|
|
people to the area more than 100 years ago; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Among those attracted to this rich farmland were |
|
|
Czech immigrants who farmed the land, opened businesses, shared |
|
|
their European culture, and planted roots that are now indelibly |
|
|
woven into the identity of West; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The people of West embrace this heritage, making it |
|
|
known and officially designated as the Czech Heritage Capital of |
|
|
the State of Texas and informally calling it the "Czech Point of |
|
|
Central Texas"; West is the place to be on Labor Day weekend for the |
|
|
annual tradition of Westfest, a celebration of Old World foods, |
|
|
music, arts and crafts, and many other activities; the city is also |
|
|
renowned for its tasty kolaches, the absence of which was mightily |
|
|
felt when the previously scheduled West Day at the State Capitol |
|
|
this session was canceled due to bad weather; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Home to nearly 3,000 people, West is a small town |
|
|
with a big can-do attitude; whether it's for the food, a trip to the |
|
|
Katy Depot Museum, or specialty shopping, the residents of West |
|
|
have much to make them proud; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 2, 2011, as West Day at the State |
|
|
Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best wishes |
|
|
for an enjoyable and memorable visit to Austin. |
