Where is your favorite place to take your dog?
My dog loves Bubbles pet grooming in the walking alley north of the Square. She has a fear of groomers and Marilyn is so loving and compassionate. She actually looks forward to getting “her hair and nails done”. She really looks forward to showing off our new hair-do at the dog park.
What is your favorite healthy eating spot in Fairfield?
We are so lucky that we have so many places to choose from! Depending on my mood, I know I can get something healthy at the India Café, Revelations, Thai Deli, Noodle House or Everybody’s. Of course I eat at the Jefferson County Health Center everyday and there is always something healthy to eat there.
What is your favorite outdoor spot to enjoy a sunny Saturday?
I love the solitude of riding my bike on the trails. I try to do the entire loop when I can. The hills make it a perfect workout. Just when I think I can’t take it any longer, I reach the top of the hill and enjoy the coast down.
What’s Fairfield’s best-kept secret?
We have so many best-kept secrets…but the word is getting out! One of the amazing things about Fairfield is all the entertainment options. There is usually something great going on at the FACC, a concert at Revelations or Café Paradiso, or some form of participatory dance class or event at the Morning Star Studio. Sometimes it’s hard to choose what to do because there is so much!
What’s your one “must-do” for visitors to Fairfield ?
When I have friends come to Fairfield for the first time, I like to take them to Revelations. They get to watch the eclectic mix of Fairfield residents coming in for lunch, coffee or a business meeting and it gives them a good feel for what I love about this town. Another must do is to attend a live music event at any of our great venues.
Where will you be seen shopping?
When I need some shopping therapy I go to Adela’s for some jewelry or a new purse, or Kim’s Kottage for some unique clothing. I recently purchased a great scarf there that had the perfect colors for fall. Our local shops do such a great job bringing a unique retail therapy experience to Fairfield.
Any special plans for the weekend?
This weekend I will be catching up with some girlfriends at Vivo’s Restaurant. We are really looking forward to some great food, good wine and a nice atmosphere where we can reconnect.
