FAIRFIELD - Visitors will soon be able to find their way around Fairfield with the help of colorful kiosks scattered around town.

The effort by the Fairfield Tourism Association will place six-foot kiosks in prominent hotels and attractions in the next two weeks. The displays will feature a large map noting Fairfield area hotels, attractions, wineries, farm trails, golf courses, tours, wildlife viewing, and other outdoor activities, with brochures to take away.

'The kiosks show visitors what there is to do and see here,' said Beth Javens, executive director of the Fairfield Tourism Association. 'Visitors will be able to locate a place on the map that they want to explore and then grab a brochure.'

The kiosks will be in all local hotels and the largest tourist stops, such as Jelly Belly Candy Co. The map lists 18 hotels, seven vineyards and wineries in Suisun Valley, the Western Railway Museum, Jelly Belly, the Budweiser plant, two golf courses and several other destinations.
