This month, the roof of our Grange was completely re-installed. Thanks to Value Roofing for doing a quick, efficient, and quality job. I stopped by every day to check on their progress (it gave me an excuse to send up the drone ;) ). If you watch the video, you'll see boards missing after they stripped off the old roof. It's no wonder there were leaks. Value replaced the boards, added a layer of insulation, then reflective shingles.

The goal for 2024 is to update the electrical and improve the exterior. Merry Christmas and here's to a wonderful 2024!

I found this clipping date October 25 (it's on a page from 1943). It's the opening of the Fairfax Grange. The article states that it starts with a "three-round barbecue". They were expecting 400 people at the Opening!!! The article goes on to say, "While the feast progresses in the basement dining room, dancing will prevail on the main floor."

Eighty years later, we are trying to re-create part of it. Join us on November 3, for dancing and live music at the Grange. $10 at the door gets you in for a FREE line dance lesson with Joel Hoffman at 6:30 & 8, and dancing to the music of Tony Ernst and the Desert Moon Band from 7 to 10PM.

Come experience dancing at the Fairfax Grange! All proceeds go to Fairfax Grange restoration!
