WHEREAS, Proud representatives of the Fenoglio Boot Company |
|
|
are gathering in Austin on February 18 to 20, 2025, in celebration |
|
|
of Fenoglio Boot Company Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1886, the Fenoglio family settled in Nocona, a |
|
|
frequent stop for cowboys driving cattle along the Chisholm Trail; |
|
|
after the founder of the famous Nocona Boot Company, Enid Justin, |
|
|
passed away in 1990, the Fenoglio Boot Company was established, |
|
|
keeping alive the town's tradition of manufacturing leather goods; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, the business sources a wide array of leathers |
|
|
from around the world to create its boots, which feature |
|
|
all-leather outsoles and insoles, stacked leather heels, and wood |
|
|
peg construction; skilled employees, some with decades of |
|
|
experience, craft the boots by hand in Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Honoring its heritage as it embraces the |
|
|
opportunities of the future, the Fenoglio Boot Company has played |
|
|
an important role in enhancing its community's economic vitality, |
|
|
and all those associated with the business may take pride in their |
|
|
contributions to the area; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 18 to 20, 2025, as Fenoglio |
|
|
Boot Company Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to |
|
|
the visiting delegation; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
