Fayetteville Has a Television Station! Citizens can watch and enjoy City government programming now by tuning into FAYTV7 on Time Warner Cable Channel 7. Residents can stay informed about City services through bulletin boards and videos. City Council meetings are shown live and through rebroadcasts during the week. The station is a valuable tool for the City to engage and inform the citizenry about City departments. The channel is a work in progress and came to fruition as the result of Time Warner Cable ceasing operations of channel 7 on July 1 as part of State law. Be sure to check out the channel on TV and check out the station's YouTube channel at www.faytv7.com.

From April to September, visitors and guests will be able to view Whimsical Dogwoods, individually painted by local artists, installed around Downtown Fayetteville. These Whimsical Dogwoods will be mapped on a walkable tour and will include interactive features, such as QR codes, and programming like scavenger hunts, meet the artists night during 4th Friday and contests to get everyone engaged. This project is designed to increase visibility of museums and parks and to raise money for downtown revitalization. With this highly visible project, opportunities are available for businesses to be featured this year downtown. Sponsorships range from the top Whim- sical Dogwood Presenting sponsorship, which would give a business the lead sponsorship and information on all icons and marketing, to the Whimsical Dog- wood Supporting sponsor, which also allows for a logo on marketing, as well as an artist design choice, to our Icon Adoption package. This project was made possible with help from a grant from the Arts Council of Fayetteville/ Cumberland County. For a Whimsical Dogwood Sponsorship Packet or for more information about the project, including the Call for Artists, sponsorship opportunities or a mon- etary donation, please call Jami McLaughlin at 433- 1599 or email at jmclaughlin@ci.fay.nc.us.
