Northwest Arkansas Community College welcomed students back today with some free goodies.

Local businesses set up booths at the Bentonville campus to hand out free stuff at the school's Fall Fling Vendor Fair, and students were able to pick up lunch for free between classes.

"We just like to make a festive environment for the students to come back to school," says Mary Beth Haas, NWACC's Director of Student Life. "I get as excited as they do."

Telephone companies, banks and gyms were offering student discounts, but Haas says the food is the favorite by far.
