Fayetteville Celebrates 49th Lickskillet Days

Beautiful weather smiled on the 49th annual Lickskillet Days Festival over the weekend in Fayetteville. 

The unique name of the festival comes from the old name of the area in the 1830s (Lickskillet) which according to legend was because latecomers to community picnics and gatherings found the food completely gone and were jokingly told to “lick the skillet.” Shown here are photos from Sunday’s parade including the Fayetteville senior float below, and parade marshal Dr. Jeff Harvey, Fayetteville school superintendent, right.
