City of Fairfield workers have been busy this week putting up lights and holiday decorations in Central Park.
The lights on the square will be flipped on during the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce’s Holiday Lighting Ceremony at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25. After arriving to town as the lights come on, Santa will be found in the Santa House listening to the children share their hopes for the holiday season. There also will be horse drawn wagon rides around the square for the kids. Free hot cocoa and cookies will be handed out at the Santa House.
