	Country lifestyle as well as easy access to the cultural and
	recreational opportunities of the Austin area; and Taylor, which is

	Roundup, and the annual open rodeo; and
	WHEREAS, Blessed with a thriving economy and an exceptional
	quality of life, Williamson County is justly celebrated for the
	can-do spirit and civic engagement of its people, who are working
	every day to create a bright and exciting future; now, therefore, be
	it
