Fuquay-Varina Downtown has a new look The FVRA has a new look - Fuquay-Varina Downtown! In 2007, our organization went through a community visioning process and you told us that you wanted downtown to be accessible, family-friendly, and full of interesting experiences including dining opportunities and retails shops. We are working to achieve that goal and we think we are making progress!
Our new logo captures this vision of a happy and unique combination of two downtowns that people look forward to visiting. You'll also notice that Fuquay-Varina is captured much like a signature on the logo. This is intentional. It pays homage to our town namesakes and their vital role in our past.
Focus groups were held to test the logo. Thanks to those that participated. To let us know what you think, email us at susanweisfvra@yahoo.com.
In the new version of the newsletter, you can use IN THIS ISSUE and check out the title of articles and then link to the articles you'd like to read!
Also, make sure to go to our WEBSITE, www.fuquay-varinadowntown.com! It's been completely re-worked to give you all the information you need and want about Downtown Fuquay-Varina. |

Candy Hop in Downtown on Sat., March 27
from 11 am - 2 pm Once again, the merchants in downtown Fuquay-Varina are creating free, family fun in downtown Fuquay-Varina. On Saturday, March 27 from 11 am to 2 pm, the merchants on and around historic Main and Broad Streets will host a Candy Hop to celebrate Easter. "The Candy Hop will work much like the traditional Trick or Treat event in downtown that has been so popular for the past few years," said Kathy Barnes, Fuquay-Varina Downtown Chairman. Children should bring a basket and visit merchants displaying the poster that says, "Hop in for Candy!" Make sure to hop, hop, hop, from shop to shop. You're sure to find candy and goodies and a whole lot more, but be sure to use the words "I Love Fuquay-Varina" at each store! The Easter Bunny is likely to make an appearance so make sure to bring your camera. For more information, go to www.Fuquay-VarinaDowntown.com.
