Season Passes and Packages on sale August 8! Individual tickets on sale beginning September 5.

For over three decades now HOTEL CALIFORNIA have been recreating the legendary sound of THE EAGLES, and thrilling audiences all over the world. The band set the bar in 1986, and they’ve remained the industry leading substitute for The Eagles ever since. Playing to huge outdoor and arena audiences, sharing bills with some of rock’s legends, and going places no tribute band has gone before. A long run by any measure, but it begs the question – what makes HOTEL CALIFORNIA so special? Well, incredible lead vocal similarity, intensely accurate instrumental work, soaring harmonies, and top flight live performances, just for starters. These are the band’s hallmarks, and the foundation on which their reputation has been built. With over a century of collective professional experience in the band today, they’re still going stronger than ever!

HOTEL CALIFORNIA’s show has evolved into a masterful celebration of The Eagles’ music. One of the most game-changing song catalogs in the history of rock n’ roll is performed to perfection before your eyes and ears. The band also offers tons of value-added promotional support and materials to every client, and the confidence that industry insiders have in them has made HOTEL CALIFORNIA one of the world’s most accomplished tribute productions. You can check them out any time you like, but you’ll never want to leave.

If you love The Eagles, then welcome to the Hotel California – you’ve just found the next-best thing.

Re-Visioning Our Dying: Practical Steps, Proven Possibilities

104 W. Adams Avenue
Fairfield, IA
Map to Event

October 7, 2023
1:30 pm · 3:30 pm

Fairfield Cares, with the sponsorship of the Fairfield Public Library, is offering a free informational 3-part series on the subjects of death and dying called “RE-VISIONING OUR DYING: Practical Steps, Proven Possibilities”. 

September 23rd – Part 1: What Are the Levels of Care, Who Pays?
The first presentation in the series, “What Are the Levels of Care”, will be led by Jennifer Hamilton, a respected senior health care and hospice veteran from the Fairfield community. Many are not familiar with the actual options and lack of options that are available as we age and need more care.  What are Independent Living, Home Care, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing Care, and Hospice?  When does one qualify?  Who pays for what?

September 30th – Part 2: Be Prepared: End of Life Finances and Legalities
“Be Prepared:  End of Life Finances and Legalities”, the second talk, led by Fairfield Attorney Shane Zisman, will discuss the important aspects of finances, insurance, deeds, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that will enable attendees to decide essential questions and give directive powers to those they trust. The benefits to family members and loved ones are enormous; if these matters are decided before any serious mental or physical impairment occurs, harmony can prevail and conflicts avoided. 

October 7th – Part 3: Five Wishes: Letting Others Know Exactly How You Want to Be Treated
The final presentation, “Five Wishes: Letting Others Know Exactly How You Want to Be Treated”, will also led by Jennifer Hamilton, who has assisted many people in thinking about and creating their final directives. The first living will addresses your personal, emotional, medical and spiritual needs and lets you say exactly how your wish to be treated if you get seriously ill. The presentation will also introduce the American Bar Association’s “Commission on the Legal Problems of the Elderly”, a well-regarded and easy to use document that leads experts in formalizing end-of-life care.

If you need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event, please contact the library at 641-472-6551 Ext. 1.

The film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival (Winner of Human/Nature Awward) in June and features a highly promotable cast: LAURA DERN, ROSARIO DAWSON, JASON MOMOA, WOODY HARRELSON, IAN SOMERHALDER, DONALD GLOVER. This is the highly anticipated follow-up film to Kiss the Ground, also directed by the Tickells, which is narrated by Woody Harrelson and won over 75 major film festival awards.

COMMON GROUND is the hopeful and uplifting story of the pioneers of the “Regenerative Movement” who produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense food and are working to balance the climate – all while bringing our entire ecosystem back to life. The film explores how Americans from different walks of life, different political backgrounds and different parts of the country share one thing in common – the very soil beneath their feet. The film investigates the power of “regenerative” farming systems – from large to small scale farmers who are the champions of soil health as the key to unlocking more (and healthier) food to feed America and the world.

The film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival (Winner of Human/Nature Awward) in June and features a highly promotable cast: LAURA DERN, ROSARIO DAWSON, JASON MOMOA, WOODY HARRELSON, IAN SOMERHALDER, DONALD GLOVER. This is the highly anticipated follow-up film to Kiss the Ground, also directed by the Tickells, which is narrated by Woody Harrelson and won over 75 major film festival awards.

COMMON GROUND is the hopeful and uplifting story of the pioneers of the “Regenerative Movement” who produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense food and are working to balance the climate – all while bringing our entire ecosystem back to life. The film explores how Americans from different walks of life, different political backgrounds and different parts of the country share one thing in common – the very soil beneath their feet. The film investigates the power of “regenerative” farming systems – from large to small scale farmers who are the champions of soil health as the key to unlocking more (and healthier) food to feed America and the world.

THE POET'S FORGE @ FPL

104 W Adams Ave
Fairfield, IA
Map to Event

October 14, 2023
3:00 pm · 4:30 pm

THE POET'S FORGE Date & Time: Every second Saturday from 3-4:30pm

Location: FPL Meeting Room

Audience: Adults

Host: Craig Deininger

The Poet's Forge is a workshop that emphasizes craft—hence "forge" and its connotations with smithing—the actual work we do within and upon the substance of language. This emphasis does not omit the many subtler elements vital to poetry like inspiration, imagination, meaning and so on. Rather it simply holds the techniques of the craft as its primary focus. The workshop is geared to those who are serious about developing their skill in composing poetry and not toward merely having a platform for voicing opinions or having one's work affirmed. That said, the atmosphere will be professional and respectful, attending precisely to the poetry of the participants. Anyone interested in writing more poetically, regardless of experience, is quite welcome provide they are prepared to honor what their poetry has to say as its own autonomous entity, so to speak. Auxiliary content on poetry and poetics will be included, but will not be prepared in advance. Rather, we will let the poetry that is on the table before us at any given moment determine our direction. About Craig Deininger Craig is Assistant Professor of Creative Writing & Literature at Maharishi International University. Before moving to Fairfield, Craig taught at Naropa University, Lees-McRae College, Studio Film School in Los Angeles, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he earned an MFA in Creative Writing, served as an editor for the Juniper Prize for Poetry, and was Coordinator of the MFA’s Visiting Writers Series. He also earned an MA and PhD in Mythology and Jungian Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in California. His poetry has been published in several literary journals, anthologies, and newspapers, including The Iowa Review, Glyphs, Between, Moab Happenings, and Riverbend. He is a regularly featured writer for the Joseph Campbell Foundation, and his first book of poetry, Leaves from the World Tree, was recently published by Mandorla Books.

The Barhydt Organ Spotlight Series features master organists and pianists that show our beautiful Barhydt Organ and Steinway grand piano at their finest. Admission to all performances is free! Voluntary donations will be accepted at the door ($10 suggested).

ABOUT JAY WARREN

Chicago’s foremost photoplay organist, Mr. Warren brings all the color, excitement, and glamour of the silent film era back to life with his original scores for the silver screen.  As a regularly featured photoplay organist for the Silent Film Society of Chicago, he has accompanied most of the great silent films throughout his forty year career in his famous rousing style.  He has been featured annually for the highly regarded Silent Summer Film Festival since its inception in 2000.  Jay has appeared 14 times playing the huge E.M. Skinner pipe organ for silent films at the University of Chicago’s famed Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.  He also performs film accompaniment on the beautiful Letourneau pipe organ in the Crimi Auditorium of Aurora University.  Jay has also made several silent film photoplay appearances on the incredible 5 manual Wurlitzer located at the Sanfilippo Foundation’s Place de la Musique in Barrington, Illinois.
