What is going on in Fairfield, Iowa? How is it going in Fairfield? Anymore in reply I usually start off by confirming, “..We’re a bunch of Transcendentalists”, to contextualize what is going on here.

People evidently do come to see that and some are moving to Fairfield for this. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : For those who think practically about an economic reality of 'tourism' that does come to Fairfield, Iowa this ‘branding’ as a communal exercise helps clarify our own thinking about Fairfield as a community also helps in the sharing with others insights into Fairfield, Iowa as a place. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa -A Deep Exploration in Freedom ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa ..Where People of all Ages Can Feel they Belong. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa Never Static Always Dynamic ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa: Fearlessness Unbound ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : FAIRFIELD, IOWA -Pluralistic and Moving Forward ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : ..Sadhana and Good Works ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa 'Utopian Vision and Search for Community' ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesed...@yahoo.com> wrote : Howzabout, "Fairfield: We Put the 'Corn' in Cornucopia"? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : A long time ago a friend of mine suggested "Fairfield -- Nowhere Else Comes Close," which at the time I thought was quite clever, but not likely to be adopted. Taglines are mostly a waste of time, I think. They are dreamed up by PR people and don't mean anything. I have recently spent time in Grinnell, IA, which for those who don't know, is the same size as Fairfield, about 90 miles northwest. Grinnell's tagline is "The Jewel of the Prairie." Well, you could have fooled me. It doesn't even have a decent restaurant. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa -A Place of Meditation with Revolution in Mind. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : "Small Town with Big Values" is great, but a lot of other towns use it in their promotion (Google it). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : ..Anyone have tagline ideas that are inclusive of it all? from folks after Quaker Meeting..

A challenge though for these out of town people who have been hired by the traditional town elders to do this rebrand is to catch the different elements that make up Fairfield, Iowa in a branding tagline that the town elders can accept. If it was the Bevanites doing it as they have said it in the past it would be, “Fairfield is for those who have faith and belief in Maharishi, and everyone else should leave”. But after 40 years they are a smaller part of the larger meditating community that is gathered here now. Quite evidently they do not entirely represent what is going on in Fairfield, Iowa spiritually. But quite evidently something else mature has set into ‘spiritual’ Fairfield that people do come to see and people are moving to. It could be to everyone's advantage if the PR people could recognize that in the taglines they come up with and the town elders would accept it. Anyone else have ideas that are inclusive of it all?
