102nd Pioneer Picnic
This Sunday, July 19th, you are invited to the Fairfield City Park for the 102nd Annual Pioneer Picnic. For many years the Picnic was held on Soldier Creek a few miles north of Fairfield, but because of lack of parking and the difficult terrain for less agile pioneers, the celebration was move to the City Park. While attendance has varied over the years, passing the 100 year mark in 2013 has renewed interest in this unique event. The Old Time Fiddlers will begin playing at eleven o’clock, followed by the eating and socializing at noon. Judge Varin will
make the keynote address and an update will be giving on the recovery of George Carrico’s Johnson Hill Carving which was stolen several years ago. Other attractions include Beulah Baldwin’s timeline exhibit will be on display throughout the whole day and a rare Camas Legacy Book will be auctioned. While the meat is provided, this is a potluck celebration. So, bring a side dish, a salad, or a dessert. You might also want to bring a chair as picnic tables are limited. Above all, bring a friend. Everyone is welcome.
