Fairfield kicked off the Christmas Holiday with its annual Christmas on the Square, Saturday, December 2, 2017.

ASSISTING SANTA CLAUS THIS YEAR ARE THE CHAMBER ELVES, Executive Director Brenda Pate (left) and Vice Chair Gail Farish (right). Everyone is invited to join the Elf Adventure next week to spread Christmas cheer throughout the town of Fairfield.

SANTA CLAUS LISTENS INTENTLY to Kierstin Mensch as she shares her Christmas wishes during Saturday’s Old Time Christmas on the courthouse square in downtown Fairfield, Texas. If you missed him this weekend, the jolly old elf will return to town for the Jingle All The Way event on December 16th.  Turn to page 1-B to see more pictures of the annual event, sponsored by the City of Fairfield and Fairfield Chamber of Commerce.

FAIRFIELD JUNIOR HIGH’S Eagle Choir performs Christmas carols for the crowd.

RONALD MCDONALD visited Fairfield and participated in the annual Christmas parade on the square.

THIS YOUNG LADY is just one of many children that had an exciting opportunity to visit with Santa Claus and give him their wish lists.

THIS YOUNG ANGEL proudly shows off her donkey and allows visitors to pet it and feed it hay.

THE CITY OF FAIRFIELD employees showed up in style for this year’s parade, dressing as Gru and his many Minions.
