The Chamber has invited town organizations to distribute information and/or sell items to benefit and support their programs. There is no charge to participate, and all non-profits are welcome. It’s a great time to let the general public know who you are and what you do, and to promote your organization. However, because space is limited, if an organization would like to participate in this free event, please call the Chamber office at 255-1011.
November 28th is also “Small Business Saturday”, a national campaign started by American Express to promote and remind people to “shop local” and support local businesses. The Chamber will hand out “I Love Fairfield” button pins with each “Shop Local” flier.
This event is made available to the community through the generous support of the Chamber’s membership, specifically ACBI Insurance/ Event Sponsor and Massage Envy.
