 * Symbol confirmed.svgh and age check. Topic is covered in reliable sources.  Citations for both hooks check.  I like the first hook best.  It comes in just under 200 characters and the claim that Willie Nelson Day was declared in recognition of the picnic (among other things) is supported by the law's text.  —  AjaxSmack   21:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
