LELAND, NC (WWAY)– Saturday marks a somber day in U.S. history for the beginning of the end of the Vietnam War on January 27, 1973.
The war began its ending on this day when the US and North Vietnam signed the Paris Peace Accords.

The program will be held at Fuzzy Peach on Saturday 1/27 from Noon until 4 pm. Fuzzy Peach will be offering a 10% discount for this event.
Families are encouraged to join us for some great treats from Fuzzy Peach and an opportunity to meet our local Leland Police Department’s Community Engagement Team.
