H.R. No. 1053
R E S O L U T I O N
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.
