Bonjour!  In 2007 the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives proclaimed that “Fayetteville is the place where North Carolina celebrates Lafayette’s birthday.”  Come celebrate the birthday of "The Hero of Two Worlds" on Saturday, Sep. 11 in downtown Fayetteville.  The day is full of activities, but it starts with a French toast breakfast at Horne's and wraps up with birthday party featuring a live band, free birthday cake and ice cream (while it lasts!), bounce houses for kids, and BBQ plates in Cross Creek Park from 5-8 p.m.
Tickets for the party are $10 each, and children 12 and under who have a ticket receive unlimited bouncing!  If you'd like tickets call Arleen Fields at ext. 7412. Complete details are available at www.lafayettesociety.org.  Proceeds go to purchase markers for Fayetteville's planned Revolutionary War park.
