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.
	Fallon
