Visitors will be treated to mouthwatering hot chocolate, cider, poinsettias, holiday crafts, ornaments, plus breakfast sandwiches and mini burgers from the new Plan B restaurant.

Santa Claus, played by Joe Skarupa, a perennial Santa-About-Town, will arrive by hook-and-ladder truck down Reef Road at 10 a.m.. Children will then have several hours to present their list while Santa sits in the gazebo until 2 p.m. Santa’s elves will give each child a small holiday gift item.

As in the past, the ever-popular children’s petting zoo will return, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. weather permitting, as well as horse and buggy rides from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m

Gazebo holiday music will be provided by the Computer Doctor, Fairfield.

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. For information regarding the event, call, 203-255-1011.
