The Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting its annual Farm Barbecue on at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
Knowing the important role that agriculture plays in the community, this event is held to honor our area farmers with a free pork barbecue. It’s the Chamber’s way of saying “Thank You” to agriculture for the important role that they have in our community.
Committee members:
The Farm Barbecue is one of the oldest running events at the chamber and would not be possible without the support of the many businesses and individuals give generously to make this event happen. Anyone wishing to make a donation may contact Nancy Morrissey at the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce - 641-472-2111 or by email nmorrissey@fairfieldiowa.com
