This weekend, the annual Camas Lily Days will take place in Fairfield, Idaho. On Saturday morning (June 4th) bring your kids out to Kids Pond for the Fishing Derby (one mile east of Fairfield just north of Highway 20). There will prizes for various age groups and Idaho Fish & Game will be on hand to provide equipment and information.
At 1:30, the City of Fairfield & Camas County will hold a surplus equipment auction across the street from the Senior Center. Meanwhile, the Senior Center will host a fundraising yard sale. Next door in the City Park, vendors will have various items for sale, and starting at 5 p.m. there will be live music with Dirty

Native American Dancers will take over the City Park in the afternoon. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes and join the fun.
Northwest Farm Credit Services is proud to award Gooding Volunteer Group in Gooding, Idaho, a $1,500 Northwest FCS Rural Community Grant. “This grant will be used toward tools and materials for the new Gooding Community Playground, which will be installed October 2016,” said Becca Pereira, Public Relations Coordinator. “With some pieces about 30 years old, and ever increasing usage, the playground in Gooding’s East Park has been wearing down. It’s in need of replacement and the Gooding Volunteer Group has teamed up with a core group of individuals to make this dream become a reality.
“Our goal is to create a unique park to benefit all children in Gooding and surrounding areas. This park will be custom-designed to be unique and American Disability Association approved. It will be handicapped-accessible and include components for children with a wide range of disabilities. Over
500 children have special needs in Gooding County, and they need a place they can enjoy with their families. This playground will also benefit surrounding communities, as families will travel to Gooding for a playground of this nature. Thank you so much to Northwest Farm Credit Services continued on page 4
