State of Alabama
House of Representatives
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA Resolution
HJR 24
By Representative Starkey
DESIGNATING THE ANNUAL "FAIRE" IN FLORENCE AS ALABAMA'S
OFFICIAL RENAISSANCE FAIRE
WHEREAS, throughout October 1987, the first Renaissance Month was observed in Florence, Alabama, culminating in a two-day Renaissance Faire, an event so favorably received and so successful as to be accorded the Pride of the Shoals award by the Northwest Council of Local Government and WOWL-Television; and
WHEREAS, in view of the Faire's enthusiastic reception, it is now planned as an annual event, and it is entirely logical and fitting that ite permanent site remain in Florence, Alabama, which was named for Florence, Italy, the founding city of the Renaissance movement in Europe during the 14th Century; and
WHEREAS, the Location of the Renaissance Faire in Florence would also serve the desirable establishment of a new and viable tourist attraction in that area of our state as a complement to the Alabama Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery; now therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA, BOTH HOUSES THEREOF CONCURRING, That the annual Renaissance Faire in Florence, Alabama, is hereby named and designated as the official Renaissance Faire in the State of Alabama, and said city is now and shall remain as the permanent location of this event.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the GREAT SEAL of the State of Alabama to be affixed by the Secretary of State at the Capitol in the City of Montgomery on this the 4th day of February, 1988.
Guy Hunt Glen Browder
Governor Secretary of State
