Highlights & Happenings from Fairfield Federal | August 2023

The Best of the Season: Reflection, Reconnection and Giving Back

This summer has been a fun-filled whirlwind of events and celebrations, many of which took place right here, in downtown Lancaster.

Although it's bittersweet to close out the sunny months, we like to think of fall as a time to reflect on the year so far, reconnect with one another, and give back in our community. We have so much on the radar that we are excited to share with you!

In recent weeks, we've seen many friendly faces at our customer appreciation days. We also hosted two spectacular artists, Jim Gerken and John Marque, during the Lancaster Festival ArtWalk in July. And, we can't forget about all the fun that has come with Friday Night Bandstand this summer. What a lively season it has been!

This fall, we're looking forward to giving back at our annual staff community service event, which we do each year on Columbus Day. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates! We're also excited to connect with friends at Olivedale Senior Center, as our staff serves up lunch at the annual 80+ birthday party, sponsored by Fairfield Federal. Additionally, each of our offices will be participating in the Fairfield County Scarecrow Trail again this year, which begins on Oct. 1.

Several holidays are coming up in the next few months. Please be aware that our offices will be closed:

Monday, Sept. 4: Labor Day
Monday, Oct. 9: Columbus Day
Saturday, Nov. 11: Veterans' Day
Thursday, Nov. 23: Thanksgiving

We are so grateful to have you as one of our customers and we hope to see you again soon.

Your neighbor at Fairfield Federal,

Say "Hi" to Adam!

ArtWalk at Fairfield Federal

Fairfield Federal had a lovely time hosting the spectacular creations of two local artists, Jim Gerkin and John Marque, at our Main Street office during the Lancaster Festival ArtWalk on July 21. Jim is a watercolor artist and paints landscapes and other scenes from everyday life. John’s art portrays realism and impressionism through oil and acrylic. We were honored to host these artwork displays and we're already looking forward to next year's ArtWalk!
