4	5		SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
5	6		WHEREAS, In recent years, the Central Texas community of Kyle
6	7		has begun to garner attention as the Lone Star State's premier
7	8		source of delicious pies; and
8	9		WHEREAS, Kyle is home to the Texas Pie Company, where owner
9	10		Julie Albertson has been baking her signature products for retail
10	11		and wholesale customers for more than two decades; during that
11	12		time, the business has grown from selling a few pies each day to
12	13		selling up to 300, with three-quarters of those purchases being
13	14		made by people from out of town; and
14	15		WHEREAS, Recognizing the community's importance in purveying
15	16		these prized baked goods, city leaders have found numerous ways to
16	17		build on that reputation; Kyle has hosted the annual Pie in the Sky
17	18		Hot Air Balloon Festival since 2017, and the mayor has proclaimed
18	19		January 23 as Pie Day, which coincides with the national
19	20		celebration of the dish; almost two months later, residents
20	21		continue the fun with a pun, as they commemorate National Pi (p-i)
21	22		Day on March 14; moreover, the city has joined the American Pie
22	23		Council and has been granted a pie-related trademark from the
23	24		U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; and
24	25		WHEREAS, Other local enterprises have also begun
25	26		incorporating pie into their operations, with more than 40
26	27		businesses joining the city's "CertiPIEd" business initiative; the
27	28		Hampton Inn gives out pie-shaped and scented candles to guests,
28	29		Broadway Bank is sponsoring pie-eating contests, and Sky Realty
29	30		Kyle presents pies to customers who buy a home; looking to expand
30	31		the brand, the city is actively recruiting pie-making companies and
31	32		pie restaurants to move to Kyle; and
32	33		WHEREAS, Whether it's pecan pie, apple pie, blueberry pie, or
33	34		pot pie, a pie is an occasion for celebration and delight, and the
34	35		people of Kyle are making this beloved dish a special focus of their
35	36		identity as a community; now, therefore, be it
36	37		RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas
37	38		hereby designate Kyle as the official Pie Capital of Texas; and, be
38	39		it further
39	40		RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section
40	41		391.003(e), Government Code, this designation remain in effect
41	42		until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally
42	43		passed by the legislature.
