The Fairfield Lions Club tried something new this year “Breakfast Birritoes.”

We didn’t do much advertising and we didn’t have much success.

Our breakfast eggs (were or was) donated by Ethridge Egg Farm of Dew.

We want to thank Tommie for the eggs.

As yet, the Lions Club is unsure if they will try breakfast for next year’s fair.

Fairfield Lions Club meets the 2nd & 4th Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Sam’s Original Restaurant in Fairfield, Texas.
