FAIRFIELD RESIDENTS CELEBRATE -- Fun for both children and adults, Fairfield's annual Camp Floyd Day celebration on Saturday brought together local townspeople, history enthusiasts, Utah Civil War Association re-enactors, and visitors to Camp Floyd State Park for a day of festivity.
The event serves double duty as Fairfield's town celebration and Camp Floyd State Park's day to commemorate the encampment of Johnston's Army from 1858-1861.
This year Camp Floyd Day was scheduled to coincide with Free State Parks Day, so entrance was free into the Commissary Museum, Stagecoach Inn and Historic Fairfield Schoolhouse for self-guided tours.
