Austin NBC television affiliate KXAN featured a story about the no smoking policy in effect at Zilker Park during the upcoming ACL Music Festival during their evening newscasts Tuesday night. You can read and watch the story on their web site. Reporter Reagan Hackleman mentioned the fire danger signs created by the Barton Hills Neighborhood Association and held one up during his live shot from Zilker Park.

As a result of the story BHNA has been contacted with requests for additional signs and offers from helpful residents like Neighborhood Watch patroller Glenn Hopkins to place them at strategic locations to remind visitors of the fire ban. Big thanks are in order to all involved who have assisted with this vital effort: Nina Miller who designed the sign, Miriam Joffe and Kay Killen who facilitated their order and distribution, BHNA Vice-President Melissa Hawthorne who managed the project, and all of the volunteers who helped with installing the signs for maximum exposure.
