It’s a Wrap in Fair Oaks!
The 34th Annual Fair Oaks Christmas in the Village event was a smash hit by all accounts! It had everything you would expect in an old-fashioned village setting with live music from Elena Sogard, The River City Ukes, Santa’s Workshop, a festival of decorated trees, craft vendors, shopping and dining in The Village, and of course, the parade! Horns blaring, Sac Metro Fire Engine led the way followed by Grand Marshall, Bryan Welsh with the Hotheads classic car club, JROTC Color Guard from Del Campo High School, State Senator Ted Gaines, County Supervisor Susan Peters and the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce dignitaries including the Honorary Mayor, Jr. Honorary Mayor and Miss Fair Oaks! Cambi
Brown of Good Day Sacramento emceed the parade of over 30 local businesses and community organizations winding through Fair Oaks behind the Bella Vista High School Marching Band. Pulling up the rear, were Santa and Mrs. Claus in their illuminated sleigh! But wait, there was more! Candles were passed out and everyone filled Plaza Park for the lighting of the huge tree by Fair Oaks Recreation and Park District! Santa had another surprise in store for one young woman when her fiancé got down on his knee on the stage and asked her to marry him!! She said, yes! Whew!! The tree then lit up the park and
the caroling began amongst the festival of trees. It was magical. Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce would like to thank our sponsors: Bob’s Cycle Center, Oakmont of Fair Oaks, Farm Fresh to You, UPS Store in Gold River, Nautilus Tea Co., Sarah Hensler of Keller-Williams Realty, The Recognition Group, Central Valley Community Bank, FO Cemetery District, FO Foundation for Leisure & the Arts, FO Recreation & Park District, Clean & Sober Living, and B & J Auto Body. We could not have done it without the leadership of FO Chamber Executive Director, Kim Pitillo, countless volunteers, among them Charles
Miller of William Charles Salon and Denise Frazier of EJ’s Little People!
