Floor Speech

Ms. CROCKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize all that made the 6th Annual Fish N' Kids Festival a fun and educational success for the young people across my district. On Saturday, June 6th, well over two hundred children and their families gathered at William Blair, Jr. Pond in South Dallas to spend the day learning how to fish, building community, and creating lasting memories.

I would like to thank Sr. Corporal Robert Serrano and the Southeast Patrol Division at the Dallas Police Department for providing safety and security during the event, and the Dallas Police Community Affairs team, especially Officer Brian Joseph, for their assistance. I would also like to recognize Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Biologist Cynthia Fox Holt and her team for their assistance, as well as the volunteers who taught the children how to cast and fish. TPWD also kindly provided the necessary equipment for children who did not already have proper fishing gear.

Another special thanks to Dallas Parks and Recreation (DPR) Board Member Daniel Wood and the DPR team for ensuring the park had the necessary amenities to accommodate visitors throughout the day.

Finally, I want to thank my District office for their hard work and dedication to the Fish N' Kids event over the last six years. As this is our last Fish N' Kids as Team Crockett, I am so appreciative of their service to the thousands of children and families in the 30th Congressional District.
