Fingerprinting Clinic at Mercersburg Townfest

The Young Lawyers Division of the Franklin County Bar Association will offer Project KidCare during Townfest in Mercersburg on Saturday, Sept. 25.

Young lawyers will staff the fingerprinting/photo ID booth. Parents can bring their children to be fingerprinted, then take home the passport-sized booklet to be completed with their child's personal information and photograph.

Come to Townfest and visit the YLD booth for your free Project KidCare booklet!
