| September 9th, 2010 marked the 11th anniversary of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Day. FASD is
an umbrella term that describes a range of disabilities that occur as a direct result of alcohol consumption during
pregnancy. At 9:09AM, the Fayette County Courthouse bells rang nine times to kick off a "Walk-Along" down Main St. The
event was held to remind everyone that kids with FASD’s will need someone to "walk along" with them for the rest of their
life, because many will need assistance to go through life on their own. A closing ceremony took place outside the Chamber
of Commerce with a butterfly release to signify life’s new beginnings.
