opportunity to open their doors to the community and help celebrate the holiday
season.”
Fairfield Director of Economic Development Mark Barnhart noted, “This
year has been an extremely challenging year for many of us, but especially our
local merchants and our restaurants that help make Fairfield what it is. Now, more than ever, it’s important for all
of us to support our small businesses, as best we can.”
