Don’t be surprised to some Elves riding around town on an old fire engine next week!

The Christmas Elf Adventure will get underway in downtown Fairfield, Texas on Thursday, December 14, 2017.

Come in your best elf attire and help spread Christmas cheer with Santa. Or, join the group later to eat, drink and be merry while visiting your local shops for holiday gifts, complimentary snacks and door prizes at every location.
