EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 26, 2011 The City of Fairburn has a new program to offer savings on prescription drugs to residents who are without health insurance, a traditional benefits plan, or have prescriptions that are not covered by insurance.

The Prescription Discount Card is made available to residents by the City of Fairburn in collaboration with the National League of Cities (NLC) and is made possible through the City of Fairburn membership in NLC. The card is FREE to all Fairburn residents, regardless of age, income or existing health insurance.

To discover the savings and learn more about the program, go to www.caremark.com/nlc to access the program online and print a card, check drugs prices and locate participating pharmacies. Residents may also pick up a card at the following locations: Fairburn City Hall Fairburn Library Fairburn Senior Center CVS Drug Store Fairburn Municipal Court Building City of Fairburn Police Station Or for more information, call toll free: 1-888-620-1749.

Saturday, October 1st, turned out to be the most perfect day for the Fairburn Festival in our Historic Downtown. Blue skies and delightful temperatures provided a classic autumn day for a wonderful event enjoyed by participants from across the metro Atlanta area. We’d like to thank our volunteers, the parade participants, vendors, performers, city staff, and of course, all of you who attended. We give special thanks to our sponsors (click here for a list). Without the support of the business community, this would not be possible. Please support our businesses. Thank you all for making the 2011 Fairburn Festival of Arts, Antiques and Music special again this year. It was truly a wonderful day and most gratifying to see the way our community came together to celebrate and support what is now an annual tradition. We look forward to having all of you back with us again next year!
