House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Mike Johnson, commends Harlow's Bakery in Pineville, Louisiana, on the occasion of its fortieth anniversary. Originally opened by Frank Dyson in 1972 and later purchased by DeAnne Lachney, Jan Burr, and Roy Burr, Sr. in 1985, the bakery has become a beloved institution in the community. It is known for its delicious baked goods and warm hospitality, serving as a gathering place for Pineville High School seniors and churchgoers alike.
The resolution highlights the enduring legacy of Harlow's Bakery, particularly under the stewardship of Jan and DeAnne, who have upheld its reputation following the passing of Roy Burr in 2015. As they celebrate four decades of ownership, the House of Representatives expresses its gratitude for the bakery's significant contributions to the Pineville community and recognizes its role as a cornerstone of local tradition and culture.
