SRV MEMORIAL SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

Affectionately known as "Stevie's Bath," the fan club performed the upkeep on the statue in Austin twice per year from 1995 through 2006.  We had a lot of fun taking care of Stevie, but most of the "regulars" on the crew traveled over 400 miles round trip to do the maintenance, and so responsibility has been turned over to the City of Austin. The most damage has been from candle wax, so please, when you visit, NO CANDLES!  

Those who have helped with Stevie's bath in the past have been honored in the name of the fan club for recognition as Partners in the Arts and Humanities in Austin for our years of maintaining the Stevie Ray Vaughan sculpture. I have received a letter from the Director of Austin Parks and Recreation Department stating:  "Your organization has been selected as one of our 2003 "Partners in the Arts and Humanities" honorees. For the eleventh year the City of Austin Parks and  Recreation Department Cultural Arts staff is recognizing individuals, businesses and organizations that have made valuable contributions in support of our Cultural Arts programs. The Stevie Ray Vaughan Fan Club has been selected to receive this honor for its valuable and exemplary support of these programs, especially the care and maintenance of the Stevie Ray Vaughan sculpture in the Town Lake corridor. Many programs and services in the arts and humanities enrich the Austin community because individuals, businesses and organizations have a community spirit and share this with their fellow citizens. It is my pleasure to congratulate you in your recognition and to say thank you for all your support and assistance to the Austin Parks and Recreation Department." Click HERE to see the certificate.
