It may be the year of the bat in Austin. Mayor Lee Leffingwell is making a proposal for the bat to fly high in the Capitol City as the official animal of the city.
In celebration, a free evening concert will be held on the Congress Avenue Bridge called "Night of the Bat" on June 6. Adam West, the original TV Batman, will even attend the inaugural "Night of the Bat" complete with a matinee screening of the 1966 Batman movie at the Paramount Theatre.
Leffingwell, along with Mayor Pro Tem Mike Martinez, City Council member Chris Riley, representatives of the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau, Downtown Austin Alliance, Paramount Theatre, Run-Tex, and Bat Conservation International, will make the bid for the bat Tuesday, March 30 at 10 a.m. The proposal will be held inside the media room of the Austin City Hall, 301 West 2nd Street.
