And here is the write-up from the B'ham News today:
****************************************************************************
*****************************
Dog ban at events withdrawn
The Helena City Council voted Monday to withdraw from consideration an
ordinance amendment that would have prohibited dogs from community events held
on municipal property.
The balance of the ordinance that was passed in April still stands. That
regulation bans dogs from all athletic fields at city parks and calls for
dogs to be leashed at Amphitheater and Joe Tucker Parks.
Councilwoman Cris Nelson made the motion to withdraw the amendment and
members voted 5-0 in agreement.
Nelson said there has been so much discussion between council members and
residents opposed to the amendment, she felt it was best to wait and revisit
the issue after determining what is best for all concerned.

It might not be a bad idea for those in the Helena area to email or call
Ms. Nelson with a thank-you for withdrawing this amendment. Please note
though the following: ".....to wait and revisit the issue". This will
probably come up again in the future.

_Helena City Council backs off from banning pets from events_
(http://www.foxalabamanews.com/2009/09/helena-city-council-backs-off-from.html)
HELENA, AL (WBRC) - Helena's City Council backed off a plan to ban pets
from big city events after an outcry from dog lovers Monday night.
Man's best friend is welcome anytime at Helena's amphitheater, as long as
he's on a leash. But City Councilwoman Cris Nelson was hoping to change
that because she says at big events like Buckcreek, the 4th of July
celebration, even farmers markets, pets are becoming safety hazards.
