H.R. No. 120
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, For many years, Asia Times Square in Grand Prairie
  has brought together Asian American families for the excitement and
  revelry of the Mid-Autumn Festival; and
         WHEREAS, Asia Times Square, a hub for shopping, business, and
  culture for Grand Prairie's Asian American communities, is one of
  the largest Asian markets in Texas; founded in the 1980s by Grant
  Loh, an immigrant from Vietnam, it was originally a market catering
  to local Vietnamese American families, and it has since grown into a
  multipurpose center with an assortment of restaurants, boutiques,
  grocers, beauty and health stores, and other retailers; and
         WHEREAS, Each year, Asia Times Square hosts a number of
  special events to coincide with traditional Asian holidays; the
  Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the eighth month
  of the lunar calendar, is one of the most important and popular
  celebrations for people of Chinese, Vietnamese, or other Asian
  ancestry; customs vary across cultures, but during the festival,
  families typically gather together to enjoy mooncakes, the
  holiday's most iconic food, while watching and admiring the full
  moon at the time of year when it is at its brightest; and
         WHEREAS, The Asia Times Square Mid-Autumn Festival provides
  area Texans with the opportunity to share in the rich and diverse
  traditions of local Asian American communities, and it is a
  pleasure to join in recognizing this highly anticipated annual
  event; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Asia Times Square in
  Grand Prairie on its annual Mid-Autumn Festival and extend sincere
  best wishes to all those who observe this special holiday; and, be
  it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Asia Times Square as an expression of high regard by
  the Texas House of Representatives.
