The New England champions are expected to arrive in Fairfield Thursday at 2 p.m. and the town will be ready to welcome them home.
Officials, parents, friends, and supporters will be waiting on the Thursday afternoon to greet the players and coaches and congratulate them on their World Series run, according to information from the First Selectman's Office.
Fairfield fire and police vehicles will escort the bus once it enters town to Sherman Green.

“Congratulations to our Fairfield American Little League players on a great season," Tetreau said in a release. "I want to let them know that they make our Town proud and they are a great example not only to the youth in our Town, but around the world. In addition, when I look at all the other titles and championships that our boys and girls have won this year in Little League, it may not be too long before people start referring to Fairfield as Title Town USA!”
