Springtime Means Easter Egg Hunts, Farmers Market & More!

Monday made it official with the First Day of Spring!

Be sure to take a look at our advertisers in our print edition the next several weeks, especially if you are working on some much needed Spring Projects.

A visit to the State Capitol for “Fairfield Day” is being organized on Thursday by Fairfield Chamber of Commerce. Give them a call at 903-389-5792 if you want to join the caravan.

The Fairfield community will be welcoming a new Vice-President / Manager to Farmers State Bank on Friday, and next week, Freestone County will be saying “Farewell” to one of their own at Farm Bureau.

This weekend looks to be a busy one with the Teague Farmers Market, an Easter Egg Hunt in Donie, 4-H Fundraising Banquet, and lots more!
