Our new neighbors have been very welcoming. (Sally, 6 months)
When I was a kid we would ride our bikes to Fairview, and buy candies from their store they used to have. (Brittany, 4 years)
I spent so many summer days swimming and adventuring down at the Sanpitch river. One of my favorite things about growing up in Fairview. (Hailey, 9 years)
Was hit by a fire truck in front of the chief of police of Fairview last year. Was refused medical attention, then when I asked for the insurance to pay my medical bills was told by the same officer that no such thing happened and that I was a liar. Yet he in front of witnesses got into the fire fighters door and face telling him he would be arrested of he ever did that again. F*ck this city. Run by corrupt city officials. (Ethan, 13 years)
Love slowing down for sheep, cattle, in the road, plus all the wildlife. (Roxanna, 15 years)
Going to community events at the park and dance hall. (Samantha, 18 years)
Sledding up Skyline, Night Games, Walking with friends to the gas station to get a Soda, being involved in the Miss Fairview Program. (Kylie, 19 years)
As a child I would ride my bike all over Fairview.
