Designating Mineola as the official Sweets Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035, replacing the city's previous designation as the City of Festivals.

SCR 31 designates Mineola as Texas' official "Sweets Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035, replacing its previous designation as the "City of Festivals" established in 1991. The resolution recognizes Mineola's downtown area for its concentration of locally owned sweet shops like Grandma Cleda's Gourmet Candy, Mineola Fudge Shop, and Bluebonnet Bakery, which offer a variety of desserts and have gained regional and national attention. This ceremonial resolution does not create new laws or regulations but formally acknowledges the city's reputation for sweets businesses. The designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's final passage by the legislature.
