WHEREAS, Blake's Snow Shack is marking its first anniversary |
|
|
in May 2017, and this occasion offers a fitting opportunity to |
|
|
recognize its founder, Blake Pyron; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The snow cone stand has enjoyed considerable success |
|
|
in its year of operation, with long lines of customers waiting their |
|
|
turn for Mr. Pyron's signature flavored ices; this notable Texan |
|
|
was just 19 years old when the shop sold its first cone, making him |
|
|
the youngest business owner in Sanger and the only business owner |
|
|
with Down syndrome in the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Pyron has also distinguished himself through |
|
|
his receipt of the 2015 Ethan Saylor Memorial Scholarship, an award |
|
|
that recognizes individuals with Down syndrome who have shown great |
|
|
drive and resourcefulness in the pursuit of their dreams; seeking |
|
|
to provide assistance to other aspiring entrepreneurs living with |
|
|
Down syndrome, Mr. Pyron and his family have created the Blake |
|
|
Pyron Entrepreneurship Scholarship, which is administered through |
|
|
the National Down Syndrome Society #DSWORKS program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play an |
|
|
important role in furthering the economic well-being of towns |
|
|
throughout the Lone Star State, and Blake Pyron may indeed take |
|
|
great pride in the contributions his company has made to the Sanger |
|
|
community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Blake Pyron on the anniversary of the |
|
|
opening of his business, Blake's Snow Shack, and extend to all those |
|
|
involved with the enterprise sincere best wishes for the future; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Pyron as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
