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. He greets the youngsters at the Sherman Green gazebo, where the children will receive a small plush toy and balloons provided by the Chamber of Commerce. 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.

2.1 Million Cribs Recalled
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said parents should immediately stop using Stork Craft drop-side cribs, which are made by Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc., of British Columbia, Canada. The CPSC said the cribs’ drop-side, which is attached with plastic hardware, can detach unexpectedly and create a space between the crib wall and the adjacent mattress. Infants and toddlers can become trapped in the space and suffocate or fall to the floor.
