Sunday, 6/1 | 3:00 PM
In OBSERVER, filmmaker Ian Cheney embarks on an experiment in which he brings a series of keen-eyed observers – scientists, artists, a hunter – to a range of locations around the world, often without telling them where they are going, and asks them simply to describe what they see.
What unfolds is a deep exploration and celebration of the power of observation: what happens when you find new ways to sense and perceive the world around you? With customary whimsy and a small painted red square that Cheney brings on every journey, the film is an invitation to viewers to find beauty and meaning in even the most quotidian of locales.

Join Naturalist, Austin Roe, for a quick lesson on slow birding activities you can do to stay engaged throughout the summer. Then join in on a slow birding exercise. We’ll be trying a big sit activity where we’ll try to stay in the same place and see as many birds as we can from that point. This will help us to notice more details and behaviors of the birds we are observing. Bringing your own binoculars is recommended, but we do have limited pairs to borrow if needed. Also, bring any sketchbooks or notebooks you might like to utilize for the big sit activity.

Our Market at a Glance
First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.
The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.
We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
Friendly Local Merchants
All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.
Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.

The Fairfield Art Association announces a new exhibit, Fairfield Iconic, by photographer Guy Harvey. The exhibit of 20 photographic prints will take place in the Hallway Gallery in the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center, opening on Friday, June 6th, from 6 to 9 PM.
Harvey says, “Fairfield Iconic is a series of photographs taken in the downtown area of Fairfield, Iowa, between the years of 2008 and 2023. Each image communicates a sense of place that once served or still serves community life. The images also have an abstract expression of color, shape, and form that has its interest regardless of the identity of the object. I created the images initially for their abstraction and, in particular, their color, but over time the idea of documenting a sense of place became stronger. I have always been attracted to color photography, inspired by the early masters like Ernst Haas and Saul Leiter, who demonstrated the beauty of vivid color in urban settings.”
The exhibit will be showing through June and July.

FREE ADMISSION
Local filmmaker Amine Kouider will present a special screening of The Land of Nothing, a new surrealist short film ten years in the making.
The film weaves poetic imagery and dreamlike storytelling to follow a poet’s search for his lost muse through a vibrant, colorful, and mystical landscape where the threads between worlds are thin and the boundaries of reality begin to blur.
The film was created as part of the David Lynch MFA in Filmmaking at Maharishi International University and supported by a grant from the Iowa Arts Council.
The screening will include some of Amine’s other creative work and will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker.

Our Market at a Glance
First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.
The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.
We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
Friendly Local Merchants
All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.
Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.
Join us in this happy event every week.

First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.
The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.
We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
Friendly Local Merchants
All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.

First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.
The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.
We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
Friendly Local Merchants
All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.
Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.

The Young Artists Class, hosted by Mr. Guise and the Fairfield Art Association, will meet this Monday, June 23, at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center in the same room as the Gift Shop. It will begin at 4:30 and end at 5:45. The following classes will continue to meet every other Monday.
The class fee is $15.00 per child per class, including supplies. We now accept Credit (a 3% Merchant Fee will be added to your credit payment).
Hey Young Artists!
Our last Sock Puppet class was such a big hit—we’re doing it again! That’s right, by popular demand, we’re bringing back the fun, creativity, and silly characters for another round of sock puppet magic! 🧦✨
Everyone had a blast turning ordinary socks into extraordinary creations using buttons, yarn, felt, and more. This time, we’re diving back in with even more inspiration and imagination!
You’ll start by sketching your puppet, then choose your materials to build a character that’s funny, wild, sweet, or out-of-this-world. Is it a superhero? A fashion icon? A wacky alien? The choice is yours!
Let’s make more hilarious, heartfelt, and handmade puppets together. We can’t wait to see what you come up with in Sock Puppets: Round Two! 🎨🎭
There is no charge for caregivers, and you are welcome to join as long as seats are available, which is usually the case.
Please let us know if you have any questions. I hope you and your child can join us.

The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.
We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
Friendly Local Merchants
All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.

Our Market at a Glance
First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.
The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.
We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.
Friendly Local Merchants
All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.
Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.
Join us in this happy event every week.

Named “Video Game Player of the Century” in 1999, Billy Mitchell sets a record score in “Donkey Kong” that many felt would never be broken. In 2003 Steve Wiebe, who has recently lost his job, learns about the record, sets out to beat it and does. So both men embark on a cross-country battle for inclusion in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records as the supreme king of the electronic game.
