Jake's Takes: The Curious Case of Fairfield Hill

Jan 27, 2022

The sun had set many hours ago and it was bitterly cold. The haunting moan of the wind crept through the walls adding to my sense of existential dread. It was past midnight and I was wide awake because there was something deeply disturbing on my mind. The more and more I thought about it, the more sickening it became. I stared out the window with my palm on the icy pane. Through the glass I saw a blizzard of blowing snow turning everything into an unforgiving tundra. In my reflection I see that insomnia has brought dark circles under my eyes. I heard footsteps behind me as my wife wrapped a blanket over my shoulders.

Virtual Spring Fling Fundraising Event- Purchase a Gift Card

Apr 3, 2020

Hey Everyone, first of all, we hope everyone is staying safe and optimistic for the future during these crazy times.

Secondly, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has purchased a gift card and t-shirt. We usually host a spring fundraising event but these are unusual times. Last year we raised $3000 at our Spring Fling event and we hope to meet or exceed this with your help. So far, we have raised just under $1,000 which is amazing! We will be donating to the Lander Community Foundation’s Covid-19 Relief Fund.
