Agreed. Sounds like "new" Bonfire is great from a safety perspective based on the video I saw from the Batt.com, but it seems like the marketing part of the process is lacking. The burn ban doesn't help either.
Obviously marketing wasn't needed pre-99, but it seems to be vital to the future of bonfire. Pics, FAQ sections on the website, more news interviews/articles, etc...
Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of the kids out there working their butts off. Hats off gang...
