|
WHEREAS, Residents of Rockwall are gathering at Tate Farms on |
|
|
June 12, 2021, to celebrate Texas Pie Fest; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 2019, the event was established by Brittany |
|
|
Hardin, proprietor of Bonafide Betties Pie Company, and Melissa |
|
|
Tate, who owns Tate Farms along with her husband; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The inaugural Pie Fest got off to a chilly start when |
|
|
a severe spring cold front swept in; as temperatures plummeted into |
|
|
the 30s, a determined crowd forged on despite all obstacles, buying |
|
|
up all the pie; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While the opportunity to consume pie is reason |
|
|
enough to convene, the festival also includes elements of |
|
|
competition; pie eating and pie baking contests will put the skill |
|
|
and appetites of both children and adults to the test, and the event |
|
|
will feature a vintage car and truck show and a display of custom |
|
|
motorcycles and mini-bikes; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas Pie Fest provides fun and fellowship for |
|
|
Rockwall residents and visitors alike, and this year's gathering |
|
|
promises to be a source of fond memories for those who attend; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize June 12, 2021, as Texas Pie Fest Day |
|
|
and extend to all those participating sincere best wishes for an |
|
|
enjoyable event; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the festival organizers as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
