With America's Semiquincentennial fast approaching next month, Fairfield is filled with patriotic spirit much as it was 50 years ago for America's Bicentennial in 1976. One of the patriotic displays included in both the 1976 and 2026 celebrations has been the "painting of the town fire hydrants." Here are some of the photos of the beautiful hydrants from both celebrations. Make sure to check out the great artwork the next time you're in town.
