March 18th to be named Fred Oldfield Day!
To honor Fred for his contribution for so many years of service to the community the Governor is going to name March 18th - Fred Oldfield Day in the state.
They will have the ceremony in Olympia on the 22nd of February. He will be honored in the Senate at 10:00 AM and I just got word we can all go to watch the ceremony!!. I think it will be a great opportunity for the kids as well as adults.
I should hear from them in the next day or two & will have all the info at that time - where - when - driving directions etc. Please let me know if you think you'd like to make the trek to Oly to be with Dad and I'll get you all the info. Email me at foldfield@comcast.net or you can call 253-445-9175 or toll free at 1-866-445-9175.
In the meantime mark your calendar for March 29th for the birthday party of the decade.
Now that this has already happened and also for those who were unable to be there, here is a link to a movie of the ceremony.
