Repainting project on the Fairfax Grange’s 40th Anniversary in 1983

In 1983, Fairfax Grange No. 570 was awash with the spirit of renewal. As our wooden walls whispered tales of the past forty years, our members took up brushes and tools, painting not just the walls but our future with every stroke. These photos capture those moments – a community united in preserving the charm of our beloved Grange.

Now, another 40 years later, we stand once again at a milestone. With the same dedication, our energized board and members are revitalizing our space, ensuring that the best wooden dance floor in Bakersfield, and the walls that have echoed with decades of laughter and music, are not just maintained, but honed to perfection.

Join us in this journey of renewal, as we honor our past, celebrate the present, and dance into the future.

There’s a place for you here.
