Beach Boys bring Endless Summer to Fairfield

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Yep, those “good vibration” guys are doing a show in Fairfield on Labor Day and the organizers are planning a great afternoon!  The Nadas from Des Moines will be opening at 12:30 and the Beach Boys take the stage at 2.  The Fairfield Middle School, 404 W. Fillmore, will be a rockin’ place. Folks are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs (and your friends!) and make a fun afternoon out of it.  I understand that there will be lots of food and beverages for sale.  It’s a great way to end the summer… come on out and have a great time!

Lt. Governor Patty Judge in Fairfield

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Lt. Governor Patty Judge has been traveling the state visiting some of Iowa’s well-known attractions and hidden treasures. This morning she stopped in Fairfield to tour the Stephen Sondheim Center and was welcomed by a great crowd, including Fairfield’s Mayor Ed Malloy, Senator Becky Schmitz, members of the City Council, the Chamber of Commerce and other community leaders.  One thing that really impressed me was her conviction that Iowa offers lots of great vacation options which are sometimes overlooked because they are so close to home.

I think we really surprised her when we took her up on stage to be part of the cast of Way Off Broadway’s Pirates of Penzance.  She was very brave and donned a pirate hat for a special photo opportunity.

Yo ho ho Patty!  Thanks for stopping in Fairfield!
