The resolution commemorates the third annual Cindy Walker Days fundraiser held in Mexia on July 19, 2025, organized by the Cindy Walker Foundation. This music and songwriters festival celebrated the legacy of the late Cindy Walker, a renowned songwriter who lived in Mexia for over fifty years. The event featured live performances from various artists, including country singer Kevin Fowler and singer-songwriter Suzy Bogguss, and included a barn dance to honor Walker's early career. Additionally, the Texas A&M University Department of Architecture is collaborating with the foundation to restore Walker's home using advanced 3D scanning technology, aiming to preserve an important piece of Texas history and promote tourism in Mexia.
The resolution highlights Cindy Walker's significant contributions to country music, noting her induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 and her authorship of numerous iconic songs, such as "You Don't Know Me" and "Dream Baby." Since its inception, Cindy Walker Days has provided a platform for country music fans to support a meaningful cause while celebrating Walker's enduring legacy. The House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature expresses its commendation for the event and acknowledges Texas A&M University's partnership with the Cindy Walker Foundation.
