You’re invited

The renovation of Brush Square is nearly complete, and everyone is invited to celebrate it. On Sunday, Sept. 17 at 1:30 pm, the Parks and Recreation Department will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, featuring a performance by Big Wy’s Brass Band. The celebration coincides with Austin Museum Day, so there will also be activities at the Susanna Dickinson Museum and word games at O. Henry Museum replete with Texas-themed prizes. The renovation to the square includes new walkways, an event lawn, raised decking, new lighting and landscaping. In addition, the O. Henry Museum has been restored. Both projects were funded by the Historic Preservation Fund, through Hotel Occupancy Tax dollars.
