Santa Claus Comes to Town Today
Head over to Sherman Green from 10am to 2:30pm. Santa arrives on a big red hook & ladder, sirens blaring, compliments of the Fairfield Fire Department.

Parents will have a chance to take a photo of their child with Santa.
More than two dozen community organizations and local businesses are expected to be on hand, selling all manner of holiday goods and refreshments. Each organization will donate its proceeds to the charity of its choice. And the ever popular horse & wagon rides will be making their circuit of the neighborhood. Admission is free.
