SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 865
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the City of Dallas for the vital role it has played in |
|
the growth and progress of the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On June 6, 1936, the Texas Centennial Exposition |
|
opened at Fair Park in Dallas; the celebration of science, |
|
industry, culture, and the arts attracted more than six million |
|
people, and it helped bring the relatively unknown City of Dallas |
|
into the national spotlight; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In preparation for the historic event, Fair Park |
|
was modernized with the iconic art deco architecture of the era; |
|
for 75 years, the architectural features constructed for the |
|
exposition have served as an impressive backdrop for the State |
|
Fair of Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Centennial Exposition displayed to the |
|
world the ability of the City of Dallas to host national events |
|
and the Lone Star State's sophistication in the fields of science |
|
and technology; in the decades that followed, Texas became |
|
renowned for its diverse and robust economy and its many |
|
acclaimed cultural arts programs; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby honor the City of Dallas for promoting the |
|
strength and vitality of our state and extend best wishes to its |
|
citizens for many more successful events in the future; and, be |
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the city as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
