H.R. No. 1532
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Blake's Snow Shack is marking its first anniversary
in May 2017, and this occasion offers a fitting opportunity to
recognize its founder, Blake Pyron; and
WHEREAS, The snow cone stand has enjoyed considerable success
in its year of operation, with long lines of customers waiting their
turn for Mr. Pyron's signature flavored ices; this notable Texan
was just 19 years old when the shop sold its first cone, making him
the youngest business owner in Sanger and the only business owner
with Down syndrome in the state; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Pyron has also distinguished himself through
his receipt of the 2015 Ethan Saylor Memorial Scholarship, an award
that recognizes individuals with Down syndrome who have shown great
drive and resourcefulness in the pursuit of their dreams; seeking
to provide assistance to other aspiring entrepreneurs living with
Down syndrome, Mr. Pyron and his family have created the Blake
Pyron Entrepreneurship Scholarship, which is administered through
the National Down Syndrome Society #DSWORKS program; and
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play an
important role in furthering the economic well-being of towns
throughout the Lone Star State, and Blake Pyron may indeed take
great pride in the contributions his company has made to the Sanger
community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Blake Pyron on the anniversary of the
opening of his business, Blake's Snow Shack, and extend to all those
involved with the enterprise sincere best wishes for the future;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Pyron as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
