Vendor fees for Fairfield Market Days will be waived for the next two months, as approved by City Council during their regular session last week.

Historically, participation decreases during the months of January and February, following the Christmas gift buying season.

Vendors are encouraged to take advantage of the free booth rentals for January 27-29 and February 24-26.  Contact Darlene Jones at 903-388-9845 or via email to cedarcmc@hotmail.com

Applications for Fairfield Market Days are available at City Hall, or online at fairfieldtexas.com/market-days.

Also approved during the Tuesday, January 10th meeting is a resolution regarding a name change for the Fairfield Industrial Development Corporation (FIDC) to the Fairfield Economic Development Corporation (FEDC).

This transition has been an ongoing process that, when complete, will allow the development group to pursue a wider range of projects in bringing new business to the Fairfield area.

Finally, according to City Administrator Jeff Looney’s report, a main water line broke last month while Atmos Energy was pulling a line back through some casing.  This occurred around 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 30th.

The incidence caused several issues for Fairfield restaurants as the water had to be shut off and was dirty due to the break.

All available city crews were dispatched for traffic control and leak repair.  “Staff did a good job of making the repair and water was turned on around 6:00 p.m.,” says Looney.
