Some of our lovely Fairfield Women's Club ladies braved the Iowa heat and humidity to participate in the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce's July 2 Parade! ☀️🇺🇸

Our members proudly wore dresses representing different eras, celebrating not only America's 250th birthday but also the Fairfield Women's Club's incredible 175 years of serving our community.

A special thank you to those who provided the beautiful vintage cars—we certainly appreciated the cool ride! 🚗💙

It was a fun evening filled with community spirit, patriotic pride, and wonderful memories. And of course, what better way to wrap up the celebration than with a delicious ice cream treat in Central Park! 🍦

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. Here's to honoring our history while continuing to make a difference for generations to come!

Another beautiful day, another reason to celebrate the amazing women of the Fairfield Women’s Club 💐

We gathered at the charming McElhinny House for a delightful luncheon filled with friendship, inspiration, and a whole lot of heart. Our guest speaker, Julie Johnston, shared a story that truly moved us—what started as a simple desire to donate quilts turned into something much bigger. With no Iowa chapter of Quilts for Kids available, Julie took initiative and helped bring that mission to life right here at home.

Now, alongside our wonderful president Jeannie Belgarde, she is creating handmade quilts that are donated to children in hospitals—wrapping them in comfort when they need it most. 💕 The quilts are absolutely stunning, and the impact is even greater. They are always welcoming helping hands, so if you love to sew, support, or simply want to be part of something meaningful, this is a beautiful way to get involved.

🎉 Parade Fun Alert! 🎉
We’re also gearing up for the July 2 Community Parade! If you’d like to join in the fun, reach out to Toni Griffiths—she has arranged for two cars so members can ride along together. The theme? Dresses from different eras! Think vintage, classic, groovy, or glamorous—this is your moment to shine and celebrate in style.

We are so proud of the passion, creativity, and generosity within this group. It’s what makes the Fairfield Women’s Club so special 💛

We want to thank today’s speaker Brett Ferrel with Jefferson County Emergency Management. We learned a lot about the important job you do! We appreciate all you do for our community!!

The sirens that go off are NOT tornado sirens. They are Outdoor Warning Systems. They go off for 70 mile an hour wind, 2 inch hail and severe weather. It is automated and only goes off where needed. It is no longer that all sirens in the county go off for all events.
