SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 119

WHEREAS, Residents from the Cedar Creek Lake area of Henderson and Kaufman Counties are gathering in Austin on February 4, 2019, to celebrate Cedar Creek Lake Area Day at the State Capitol; and

WHEREAS, More than 75,000 Texans reside near Cedar Creek Lake, which encompasses 34,000 acres and features 328 miles of picturesque shoreline; locals and tourists alike take advantage of one of the state's largest residential lakes by engaging in a wide range of outdoor activities, including boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and golfing; and

WHEREAS, With a healthy blend of residential and business interests, excellent schools, and abundant opportunity for growth, the region has much to offer citizens of 13 towns, including Kemp, Gun Barrel City, Eustace, Mabank, Seven Points, and Tool; and

WHEREAS, While all of these cities are proud of their individual identities, they also together share the values and ideals of a caring, close-knit community; and

WHEREAS, Cedar Creek Lake is one of our state's true treasures, and residents justifiably take great pride in the beauty and character of the surrounding area; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th Legislature, hereby recognize February 4, 2019, as Cedar Creek Lake Area Day at the State Capitol and extend to the delegation here today sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable visit.
