Memorials, Recognition - Overton Park Shell, 90th anniversary -

This legislative bill is a House Joint Resolution that formally honors the Overton Park Shell on the occasion of its 90th anniversary. The resolution recognizes the venue's historical significance as a WPA-built cultural landmark that has hosted free concerts and events for the Memphis community since 1936. It highlights key moments in the Shell's history, including its role in Elvis Presley's first paid concert and its preservation from demolition in the 1960s. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a ceremonial acknowledgment of the venue's enduring contribution to Tennessee's cultural heritage.
