The Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a Meet the Candidate Event on Wednesday, October 16, providing local residents the opportunity to hear from candidates running for office. The event will be held at Fairfield Arts and Convention Center and will be live streamed by the Fairfield Media Center for those unable to attend in person.
This event is designed for voters to learn more about each candidate’s platform in a relaxed, non-debate setting. Questions will pertain to topics important to Chamber member businesses.
"We’re excited to offer a forum where voters can meet the candidates face-to-face and get to know their vision for our community," said Chamber Director Mendy McAdams. "The live stream by Fairfield Media Center ensures that even those who can’t join in person will have a chance to participate in this important community event."
Each candidate will have a few minutes to address the audience about what’s important to them. From 6 pm to 7 pm, Representative Jeff Shipley and candidate Thomas O’Donnell will be on stage. From 7 pm to 8pm, Senator Adrian Dickey and candidate Lisa Ossian will take their turn. All candidates will have a few minutes for closing.
Seats running unopposed will not be featured in this forum. We will be enforcing time limits per question. This is the public’s opportunity to meet the candidates and see where they stand on the issues.
This event is free and open to the public. People can be very passionate about politics and the Chamber expects the public to be respectful and kind. No shouting from the audience will be tolerated and there will be no questions from the audience. We expect everyone to behave appropriately.
For more information, please contact the Chamber at 641-472-2111 or visit our website at www.FairfieldIowa.com.

All Skill Levels are Welcome!
Already attended a Beginning Wheel Class with Jessi? Sign-up and come out again! Continue to practice your skills, and get expert feedback guidance - build muscle memory!!

Each participant will complete at least 1-2 cups or bowls.
If desired the Studio Team will glaze and fire your creation to make it food-microwave-dishwasher safe -- for pick-up at a later date.
Instructor, Materials, Supplies, Tools and Equipment are included.
What to wear: Students must wear closed toed shoes for safety and ceramic wheel students should wear clothes they do not mind getting messy.

About Instructor Jessi Tucci
Jessi Tucci has been working with clay for 15 years.
She had found a wheel in the back of her high school's ceramic room and begged her teacher to use it. With too many students in one class she had to stay after school hours to play around on the wheel.
It was an immediate addiction.
Restless after high school Jessi moved around the country and every semester, at every college Jessi took a ceramic class, even after she had way too many art credits. Functional pottery is her passion.
