Downtown Fairfield was the shop-local hot spot last week as the Chamber’s Spring Swirl event got underway.

With seven retailers serving up drinks, snacks and great deals, those joining the fun were quick to smile, laugh and pull out their pocketbooks.

“We were pretty steady,” says Amy Ralstin of Kennedy’s Korner, when asked about the turnout.

At Brenda’s Closet, customers visited while sipping on complimentary margarita’s and giving a pet to her fur-baby mascot.

Select pieces were on display from a new vendor, Abstract Design by Janette.  And, sign-up was available for their next Art Class, led by Andy Emmons.

The Shops at Peridot had some deep discounts on clothing items that evening.  Registry items were displayed, as well.

Accessories, Etc. opened their store to Resa Hull of Teague, who showed off her Fox Tale creations.  Little girl dresses were available in doll size, along with matching bows.  Visit online at foxtaleclothing.bigcartel.com

Angela and Brittani Oglesbee greeted their customers with fresh fruit and on-the-spot discount cards at Hometown Pharmacy Gift Shop.

Serving delicious croissant sandwiches with a choice of red or white wines were Gail Farish and Patty Smith at Creation’s Flowers & Gifts.

Following the two-hour shopping spree, shoppers gathered at the Chamber tent with stamped cards from every store for the door prize drawing, including a $100 gift certificate from Darlings & Divas Couture.

Also held that evening, was an Open House and Ribbon Cutting at Rockin H Paint-N-Crafts and Plaid Peacock.

This successful event was presented by the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce.
