Square Dancing itself has really taken hold in meditating Fairfield as a subset. Club square dancing in America generally has been in long decline but what has happened is a marvel that square dancing has erupted [revived] more recently in Fairfield as a vehicle of social interaction. The rote

Looks like some of the voting maps of Iowa except for 2008 when a lot of the state maps would look blue because people were sick of Bush. I visited Fairfield once in the late 1990s. It reminded me of eastern Washington. In the 1980s I lived back home in eastern Washington. Nobody made a big

There were big hopes in the 1980s that Fairfield would grow as the meditating community grew, but it never really happened. Population has remained steady at just under 10,000. It's true you can run into the same people very frequently here, but some people like that -- it's part of feeling
