Saturday is the 11th annual Small Business Saturday in Fairfield, and this year it's even more vital to support local businesses because of COVID-19.

The Chamber of Commerce went to Sherman Green to give away goodies to encourage shoppers.

Many local businesses have adapted to public health guidelines making shopping local even easier with curbside pickups, using social media and rolling out contactless e-gift cards.

The town announced the Fairfield town e-gift card this year, which can be redeemed at 65 Fairfield restaurants, merchants, retailers and service providers.
