On June 23, the Fayetteville Free Library (FFL) held a Summer 2017 Kick-off party with a musical performance by Machan & Vincent and a BBQ sponsored by Tops Friendly markets in Fayetteville.

The rain forced attendees inside, but it did not keep the more than 625 community members from coming together to celebrate the start of summer and to get a preview of the FFL summer programs. Participants enjoyed a dunk tank, crafts, robot petting zoo, 3Dprinter demonstrations and more. Additionally, Trader Joe’s staffed and sponsored a food experiment table called Edible Experiments.
