Who is Fair Oaks Village Enhancement Committee?
Fair Oaks Village Way-Finding Signs - a FOVEC project
Nestled among the oaks along the banks of the American River rises the Fair Oaks Village, California.
From its development in the early years of the last century, Fair Oaks Village has been known for good living, active commerce, and strong community. The Fair Oaks Village has been the heart of Fair Oaks ever since development started in 1895, a hub of community and commerce since the early 1900's and still a quiet rural hub as late as the 1950's. With the new Sunrise Blvd. bridge, commute traffic skirted the village allowing it to blend the charm of community with the bustle of commerce, the flourish of performing and visual arts, the use and enjoyment of public spaces and the celebration of festivals and farmers markets.
FOVEC is a non profit community organization dedicated to improving the Fair Oaks Village.

Our previous website, FOVEC.org and servers were hacked and therefore we've moved to this website. We are still missing details on some of our earlier projects including pictures and full lists of community members who helped make them happen. Please help us acknowledge volunteers by contacting us with any info you have that may have on projects and participants. Thanks for helping us enhance the Village.
