Center at Fairfield is Thankful for Lobby Refresh

“Even castles in the sky can do with a fresh coat of paint” -Haruki Murakami

If you’ve stopped by our Center at Fairfield recently, you might have noticed things are looking a little spiffier. Thanks to the generous donation from the Ring’s End Paint Center earlier this year, we were able to transform our front lobby, main room and library with a fresh coat of neutral color.

We were lucky to hire Ryan SanAngelo as our painter. Ryan also happens to be a beloved local musician and children’s book author, and his dedication and attention to detail were greatly appreciated – especially in managing the high ceilings in our great room!

Built in the 1960s, the Center at Fairfield has been the hub of our region’s educational programs ever since. Each year we average over 10,000 visitors who come to hike the Larsen Sanctuary, see the Birds of Prey Aviary or participate in one of our programs. Many also stop in the Nature Store and stroll through the lobby to visit our resident animals.

Thanks to Ryan and Ring’s End, our Center looks bright and beautiful. We hope you’ll stop by soon for a visit!
