With over 400 job openings, and more than 20 locals businesses participating, last week’s Hiring Fair in Fairfield’s newly renovated Civic Center attracted quite the crowd.

Provided at no cost to job seekers or employers, the event fostered connections between the two groups that are hoped to provide better opportunities for all.

The Hiring Fair was hosted by Workforce Solutions for the Heart of Texas and Fairfield Chamber of Commerce.
