HR 9 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Commemorating the dedication of an Official Texas Historical Marker for the Texas Rice Festival in Winnie.

This resolution commemorates the dedication of an official Texas Historical Marker for the Texas Rice Festival in Winnie. It recognizes the festival's 55-year history (since 1970), its role in celebrating regional rice farming, and its community impact - including over $1 million in local scholarships and donations. The resolution formally commends organizers for securing the marker and directs an official copy to the festival committee. It does not create new laws or affect policy; it solely honors the event's cultural and economic significance to Winnie and surrounding rice-growing counties.
