The Fairfield Old Fashioned Christmas was a success. The vendors were happy with the turn out. Live music was provided for most of the day. The Food Bank served soup, roll and pie, with the proceeds split between them and the Community Center Activities. Each group received $156 from lunch.
The Children’s Workshop was very well attended. Volunteers thought perhaps 100 kids went through and made crafts. The inexpensive crafts were simple to make.
"New people volunteered their help for the various activities. The Community Center was decorated very nicely thanks to Alene Felgenhauer and Mary Day. It added just that extra touch to the whole day," Cheryl said.
The dance had very little attendance but everyone had a good time. The band, “Spare Parts,” was excellent, and played for three hours straight with no intermission. Some of the people expressed the hope there would be a future dance, perhaps Valentine’s Day. Getting the word out to citizens is a major issue, and personally handing out flyers to people and inviting them to come may be the best way to get the word out.
Cheryl Loeffler extends a big thank you thank to everyone that helped with the Old Fashioned Christmas at Fairfield on December 3, 2011. Thanks especially to Elaine Rising, proprietor of On Sacred Grounds, for her diligenence in getting the word out about the different events happening on the Palouse December 3rd. The participation was larger than in previous years.
At a recent town council meeting, there was discussion about forming an actual committee, with planning starting perhaps in July next year. It is important to provide things for the community, and the Old Fashioned Christmas is one thing that the Town can do.
