Christmas Shopping Sets Record in Fairmont
Christmas in Fairmont this year broke all records as shops report a 20 percent rise in volume and about ten percent higher merchandise value. About $60,000 was spent on Main Street Saturday night, with crowds packing stores from afternoon until eleven. A photographer shot 18 hours of work over six weeks, and an estimated 40,000 Christmas photos were taken. Frantic last minute shopping led to amusing scenes as crowds filled storefronts and vendors.
