Chamber Talk Goes Behind the Scenes of Fairfield’s Holiday Lighting Ceremony
What does it take to get Fairfield’s square ready for the holidays? On Chamber Talk, Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce board members and Christmas Committee co-chairs Kayla Stanley of AERON Lifestyle Technologies and Jessica Anderson of Washington State Bank share what goes into the annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony. This year’s celebration, presented by Everybody’s Whole Foods, begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 27, in Central Park.
One of the episode’s best stories starts with a missing reindeer leg. When the Chamber needed a replacement for one of its holiday displays, the team at AERON used a 3D printer to make a new one. Stanley and Anderson also give viewers a first look at what’s new on the square, including a nine-and-a-half-foot star that families can step inside for a photo.
The conversation gives credit to the people whose work families see all season. Fairfield’s Street Department helps transport, set up and check the displays, while local SkillsUSA students are once again making ornaments for children to decorate. The co-chairs also walk through what first-time visitors can expect, from caroling and the countdown to Santa’s arrival on the square.
