Use of the FHA Directory

•

The FHA Board of Directors would like to discourage residents from using the FHA directory as a mechanism to advertise "for profit" products that they are selling.

We have asked for consideration from everyone, but there remain a few who have not heeded our call for neighborliness. Doing the right thing will benefit you as well as others.

Avoiding Accidents With Deer in Fearrington

•

Deer are unpredictable, especially when faced with glaring headlights, blowing horns and fast-moving vehicles and they often dart into traffic.  When you suspect deer are present, slow down.  Even our 25-MPH limit may be too fast.
