FAIRFIELD SWIM DAYS is a three-day fundraising event held in July. This year, we raised $48,645 to help offset the cost of maintenance, operation and upgrades to the Fairfield public swimming pool. Spearheading the event is a volunteer committee of 10 community members who meet monthly throughout the year, plus over 100 individuals who volunteer and the businesses and individuals who contribute monetary donations and sponsor activities. This one major fundraising event provides a safe place for children and families in a community of 700, surrounded by many more living on farms and ranches throughout the bench to enjoy swimming in the Fairfield pool during the summer. SWIM DAY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: PIE AND ICE CREAM SOCIAL, SILENT AND LIVE AUCTIONS, GOLF TOURNAMENT, FAMILY POOL PARTY, PARADE, LIVE MUSIC, TRIATHLON, CHILDREN'S GAMES, CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT, AND MORE!
