Fairfield will be hosting its first Restaurant Week -- Oct. 14 - 20 (see full story next week). Here's what the Chamber had to say to participating restaurants (business owners, take note):
Area restaurants participating in the Town of Fairfield Restaurant Week are eligible to receive a discount on Chamber membership. Hey! We'll even throw in one year free (trial period) in the Chamber Bucks gift certificate program. Good through October 2012. Interested? Come as our guest to the upcoming Business After Hours at the Verizon store located in Staples Plaza. Call 203-255-1011 for more information.
Looking to entertain your children this Saturday? Here's an idea:
"Don’t forget that both our Southport and Smilow-Burroughs Clubhouses will be celebrating Day for Kids this Saturday! Stop by the Southport Clubhouse between 12-4 or the Smilow-Burroughs Clubhouse between 12-3 for plenty of arts and crafts, carnival games, and more! Day for Kids is a free event open to the public so bring your friends and family and enjoy an afternoon of fun together!"

The hospital's Facebook page reminds fans of the Enchanted Castle to get excited for this year's event by calling up old memories:
"Have you visited The Enchanted Castle at Fairfield's Burr Homestead with your kids or grandkids in the past? Send us a message if you would like to share your memories of this storybook experience with others on our blog. We'll send you a special thank you giveaway in return!"
Lose weight, give back to the community via the nonprofit:
"Weight Watchers will be hosting its fifth annual Lose For Good celebration event on September 15th from 12 pm to 4 pm at the Fairfield Weight Watchers Center, 1838 Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield, CT. The food will come to Operation Hope to help us serve our hungry neighbors. Thank you to Weight Watchers!"
Whole Foods not only shares recipes through the company's main Facebook page, but maintains a local page for its Fairfield store. Check out recipes specifically created for Fairfield's market -- the 350 Grasmere Avenue sites has a recipe blog:

Just in time for fall riding weather, the shop is hosting a bike swap:
"Start planning now because our used bike swap is coming the weekend of September 15-16.
We'll look over your bike and let you know what we think the bike is worth. We will also make recommendations on any repairs that may be needed. We will give you a recommended price. You will bring the bike back for the sale between the 12th and the 14th to sign authorization form for the sale of the bike and we will give it a quick shine and a tag. We will third party sell the bike "as is" to the public. If the bike sells we take a 15% consignment fee for selling the bike and the rest can be used towards the purchase of a new bike."
