Here comes the annual Christmas in the Village! Sponsored by the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce, this special holiday community event will be held Saturday, December 6, 2008. There will be arts and crafts sold during the day. Santa will be at the American River Bank, the Fair Oaks Theatre Festival will sponsor a special free "Winnie-the-Pooh" show at the amphitheater, and an "Old Fashioned" Christmas parade will begin at 4:00 pm, followed by Christmas caroling and the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree.

This is always a fun event, and you can get some of your holiday shopping done, get into the Christmas spirit, and enjoy some good food with your friends and neighbors. The Fair Oaks Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre, located in Plaza Park in the Village, is an outdoor community theatre, so bundle up the kids nice and warm.
The Village is the town center of Fair Oaks. It is just east of Sunrise Blvd, between Winding Way and Fair Oaks Blvd., and Plaza Park is in the center of the Village. American River Bank is at 10123 Fair Oaks Blvd. There is limited parking at the Community Center at the east end of the park, and plenty of street parking surrounding the Village. Call the Fair Oaks Chamber office at 967-2903 for more information.
Santa really gets around. Just on December 6 -- one day! -- I've read about him being in Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Washington, Idaho, and California. Hmmmmm. He must have learned that from the presidential candidates -- LOL.
