SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 526
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Blake Pyron, the owner of Blake's Snow Shack in |
|
|
Sanger, has distinguished himself through his determination to |
|
|
succeed as a young entrepreneur; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Pyron, who was born with Down syndrome, was |
|
|
motivated to start his own business after working at a barbecue |
|
|
restaurant in high school; he enjoyed the job, especially the |
|
|
opportunity that it provided him to interact with customers, but |
|
|
he was disappointed when the restaurant closed one month after his |
|
|
graduation; with few job options available in the town, he and his |
|
|
family began discussing the possibility of opening a business that |
|
|
would make the most of Mr. Pyron's talents and interests; soon |
|
|
they came up with the idea of selling snow cones; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 2015, Mr. Pyron and his family opened Blake's |
|
|
Snow Shack as a food truck featuring snow cones in an assortment |
|
|
of flavors; as word spread, the community rallied behind the new |
|
|
venture, and its owner and namesake has excelled in his customer |
|
|
service duties; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Operating the food truck has not only allowed |
|
|
Mr. Pyron to fulfill his dream of becoming an entrepreneur, it |
|
|
has also made him a role model for other people with Down |
|
|
syndrome; his achievements illustrate the great potential that |
|
|
all individuals have to be contributing members of their |
|
|
communities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Thanks to Blake Pyron's hard work and winning |
|
|
personality, Blake's Snow Shack has already developed a loyal |
|
|
following, and it is a pleasure to join in recognizing this |
|
|
hometown hero of Sanger; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby honor Blake Pyron for his achievements as the |
|
|
owner of Blake's Snow Shack and extend to him sincere best wishes |
|
|
for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Pyron as an expression of high regard from the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
