The resolution commemorates the third annual Cindy Walker Days fundraiser, which took place in Mexia on July 19, 2025. Hosted by the Cindy Walker Foundation, the event celebrated the legacy of the late songwriting legend Cindy Walker, who lived in Mexia for over fifty years. The festival 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.
Cindy Walker, inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997, was a prolific songwriter known for hits like "You Don't Know Me" and "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)." Since its inception, Cindy Walker Days has provided a fun way for country music fans to support a meaningful cause while honoring Walker's legacy. The resolution expresses appreciation for the event and commends Texas A&M University for its partnership with the Cindy Walker Foundation in these efforts.
