Speeding was definitely allowed Dec. 3 at the Dixieland Amusement Park in Fayetteville as members of the Fayetteville Police Department hosted the 8th annual Christmas with the Police celebration that provided Christmas presents, a pizza lunch at Stevi B’s and all kinds of fun for 17 kids representing seven families at Dixieland to end the afternoon as part of the effort to make Christmas more special for those who could use a helping hand.
