  H.R. No. 776
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Proud residents of Cass County are gathering in
  Austin on March 4, 2015, to celebrate Cass County Day at the State
  Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Situated in Northeast Texas, where it borders
  Arkansas and Louisiana, Cass County covers 937 square miles of
  ruggedly beautiful timberland and hilly countryside; the county was
  created by the First Legislature of Texas in 1846, and its early
  economy was based mainly on cotton production, with lumber and
  manufacturing also playing a role; currently, the county has a
  population of more than 30,000, and visitors come for hunting and
  fishing, as well as for a variety of historical attractions, many of
  which can be found in the county seat of Linden; and
         WHEREAS, Home to the historic Cass County Courthouse, built
  in 1861 and still in use today, Linden hosts a variety of annual
  events, including the Cass County Championship Rodeo and the Linden
  Art and Wine Festival; the town is rich in musical associations: Don
  Henley grew up there, T-Bone Walker was born there, and Scott Joplin
  was born nearby; today, many diverse performances at the local
  Music City Texas Theater attract audiences from across the country;
  and
         WHEREAS, Atlanta, with a population of approximately 5,600,
  is the largest city in Cass County; established in the early 1870s
  along the line of the Texas and Pacific Railway, the town developed
  into a major supply center; tourists are now drawn to the Atlanta
  State Park for outdoor recreation and to the town's Forest
  Festival, a popular event held for the first time nearly 50 years
  ago; other notable communities of the county include Hughes Springs
  and Queen City, which also owe their beginnings to the arrival of
  the railways, and Avinger, which joins with Hughes Springs and
  Linden each spring in hosting the Wildflower Trails Festival; and
         WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich history as they work together
  to build a bright future, the citizens of Cass County may take
  justifiable pride in the important role their unique region
  continues to play in the story of the Lone Star State; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 4, 2015, as Cass County Day at
  the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere
  best wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin.
