5-7:30 p.m. Feb. 9: ‘Happy Hearts Dinner & Dance’
Located at the Fairfield Community Arts Center, attendees of the Fairfield’s 55 Plus dance will enjoy a night of dinner, dancing and photo ops. The menu includes lasagna, salad and dessert. A cash bar will be available. Admission is $6. Guests must be 55 and older. Reservations are required. RSVP by Jan. 29.
“This event is really about connection and enjoyment. The ‘Happy Hearts Dinner & Dance’ gives our 55-plus community a reason to get out, share a great meal, enjoy some music, and spend time with friends or make new ones. It is affordable, relaxed and designed to feel special without being formal,” said Sheldrick.
Feb. 9-13: ‘Heart Hunt’
Also at the Fairfield Community Arts Center, the first-floor lobby of the Community Arts Center will be scattered with hidden hearts. Guests can stop by the front desk, grab a “Heart Hunt” sheet, and let the search begin. When participants find every hidden heart, they can turn in a completed sheet for a sweet treat.
“It is an easy way to add a little Valentine’s fun to your day. Whether you’re coming for a class or just popping in, the ‘Heart Hunt’ gives kids something exciting to do and creates a fun, shared moment,” Sheldrick said.
He said the “Heart Hunt” is ideal for families, kids and anyone who enjoys a simple, festive activity. It’s low-pressure, easy to join, and great for people who may already be stopping by the Arts Center for a class or event.

Keeping with the Valentine’s theme, Fairfield will offer these classes:
