Another great reason to visit A Taste of Fayette (and stop by the Art Show on the Old Courthouse Square!):

New for Taste of Fayette:
The Fayetteville Fire Department and Fayetteville Police Department will offer interactive activities for children during the 7th Annual Taste of Fayette. Children will be able to learn about firefighting and see a real fire truck.

The Fayetteville Police Department Crime Lab is providing fingerprinting for children and DNA swabbing. The fingerprints will be on cards that parents can take home and file away to use in case of an emergency situation. They can also take the DNA swab as well. The Crime Lab will provide envelopes to place these items in.
