Fairfield social notes and a busy weekend in town

A Fairfield social week featured a Greenfield Hill Young Men’s supper by Mr. Brotherton, turkey fare by Mrs. Randolph, and a large dance led by Fallon's orchestra. Notables included the Bradleys and Bulkleys as well as visitors from Black Rock and Bridgeport. The Perry Hall firemen’s ball drew nearly 200 guests with Butler’s orchestra and organized seating and tickets. Other items note the Peterson dwelling frame, the aluminum foundry addition nearing completion, resignations and a $2 weekly support order in a local divorce case, and Groundhog Day folklore with implications for spring timing.
