VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
to celebrate with the Town of Irmo the Annual Irmo Cherry Blossom Festival, to encourage all South Carolinians to participate in the beauty of the festival, and to proclaim March 23, 2024, as Cherry Blossom Day in the state of South Carolina.
Whereas, the Town of Irmo is home to the annual Irmo Cherry Blossom Festival, which is now celebrating its seventh year. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival of Irmo honors these beautiful flowering trees; and
Whereas, blooms of colorful cherry blossoms are a sure sign of the arrival of spring in the Southern region. The event this year is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 23, 2024; and
Whereas, the blooming of the cherry trees brings joy and hope to all, but the cherry blossoms only bless the community with their beauty for a short time in spring. The grace and transience of their blossoms remind us of the beauty and brevity of life; and
Whereas, the Irmo Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in the delightful Irmo Town Park, planted in 2001 with six Yoshino trees which put forth an amazing bloom at their peak. The jewel-box Irmo Town Park comes alive with the exuberant pale pink blooms in late March when the family-friendly festival features quiet picnicking, blossom-viewing, plein-air art, handcrafted artwork, and more; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the beauty of the Irmo Cherry Blossom Festival and wish the community a picturesque and scenic event. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate with the Town of Irmo the Irmo Cherry Blossom Festival, encourage all South Carolinians to participate in the beauty of the festival, and proclaim March 23, 2024, as Cherry Blossom Day in the State of South Carolina.
