Subject: Annual Christmas Tree Lighting
The Fairfield Downtown Association will host its annual Christmas Tree
Lighting and the arrival of Santa Claus on Friday, December 6, 2002, from
6:00 to 8:30pm. Festivities will take place in a variety of locations
on Texas Street downtown, between Jefferson Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Our 40- foot Community Christmas Tree will stand at the corner of Madison
Street and Texas Street. The tree is being delivered by Mr. John Carlton
on November 27th, and will be decorated by Fairfield Downtown Association
members with help from Fairfield Public Works crews.
Santa Claus will arrive on a Fairfield Fire Truck, and will take gift
requests from children at Barbís Deli. Local Boy Scouts will offer photos
with Santa for $2 each. Photos will be free with a donation of a non-perishable
food item. Look for merchant open houses and our ìHoliday Walk Aboutî
contest with a terrific grand prize.
The following local groups have agreed to provide entertainment to guests
at the event: Angelo Rodriguez High School, B.Gale Wilson School, Bransford
School, Danc-Sing Stars Studio, Dover Middle School Band, Fairfield High
School, Harbor Theatre Group, Laurel Creek School, Mt. Calvary Baptist
Church, Napa-Solano Girl Scouts, Nor Cal Concert Girls Chorus, Solano
Choral Society, Solano Winds, Sullivan Middle School, Word of Faith Christian
Center and more!
New to this year's event are collectible lapel pins and sweatshirts featuring
the fanciful Holiday Night of Lights logo. Shirts are available in children's
sizes at $12 and adult sizes at $20. They are heavy weight shirts very
generous in size. Lapel pins are $3. All the logo merchandise is available
now by calling 422-0103 or at the FDA office- 1000 Texas Street across
the parking lot from Pietroís.
Bring the family to Downtown Fairfield and visit one of our fine restaurants
for dinner or a hot beverage. Enjoy hot cocoa and treats served by stores
while they showcase their holiday merchandise and décor. Take a
ride through downtown on a horse drawn carriage from Buzzard's Roost Ranch.
Rides are free, but a donation of a non-perishable food item is requested.
Entries for our second annual Holiday Light Parade are invited. Entries
should be decorated in a holiday theme, and be at least 50% covered in
lights. There is NO entry fee, cash prizes will be awarded for the three
best floats as judged by the Fairfield City Council.
Local non-profit groups are cheerfully invited to participate as volunteers
for the event. This is a terrific way for your student to earn those Community
Service hours.

R & D Bodyworx, the Daily Republic and Solano Garbage. Call the Fairfield
Downtown Association at 422-0103 for more information.
