The resolution honors the Daffodil Festival, a beloved tradition in Pierce County that has been celebrated for 93 years. Originally starting as a small garden party in the 1920s, the festival has evolved into a significant community event that fosters unity and brings people together. The resolution acknowledges the festival's continuity, with parades held annually except during wartime and the COVID-19 pandemic. It also highlights the role of the Daffodil Festival royal court, which consists of 24 young women who represent their schools and communities, serving as role models through their commitment to volunteerism and civic pride.
Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the contributions of the festival's organizers and the royal court over the years, emphasizing their impact on the community and the inspiration they provide to local youth. The resolution concludes by directing the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to the 2026 Daffodil Festival officers and royalty, ensuring that their efforts and the festival's legacy are acknowledged and celebrated.
