Keep Your Cigarette Butts Off Our Street – Please !
Smoking On Main Street
“Considerate smokers don’t litter. Those who do deserve criticism as much as any other litterer.” — SmokingSection.Com (Militant Smoker’s Rights Group)
The battle against cigarette litter in Hardy along Main Street can only be won if smokers join the fight on the right 
side. There are already millions of smokers who don’t litter their cigarettes, and many of them are actively spreading the word to fellow smokers. Unfortunately, they are still a small minority. If you are a considerate smoker who doesn’t litter, THANK YOU! Please continue setting a positive example and please continue to help us in any way that you can.

HARDY — For over a century, this foothills town has welcomed visitors who enjoy the cool waters of Spring River, the beauty of the surrounding Ozarks and shopping in the unique little stores along Main Street.
Very little has changed, except travelers no longer arrive by train…and most prefer a modern motel, riverside resort, RV campsite or a cozy bed and breakfast. With a National Historic District that stretches three blocks along a Main Street filled with interesting shops and museums, Old Hardy Town is among the travel treasures of Arkansas.
Hardy joined the Main Street program in 1994, with Johnny Gray serving as the first local director. A good mix of business leaders, historians, crafters and educators joined the effort to secure the program for Hardy. Dr. Aubrey Thompson and Dale Maddox were among the prime movers ten years ago and remain active in the town’s direction today.
