Seniors celebrate Christmas early
By Yasmin Assemi
FAIRFIELD -- It was Christmas again. Well, sort of.
The Fairfield Senior Center hosted Christmas in July Saturday, a biannual crafts fair featuring home-made items by seniors for more than 20 years.
Twice a year - in July and November - the center hosts the fair to raise money, organizer Wanda Lyle said.
More than 1,500 people came by throughout the day, visiting tables adorned with goods ranging from teacups to toe rings to Oakland Raiders aprons.
"This is my hobby," Persy Gallegos said. "It keeps me busy."
