"It's magica!l" "Amazing atmosphere..." "The Bares play their best in Fairfield!" Welcome to the 31st Annual Bare Necessities ECD Weekend In Fairfield IA with Susan Kevra, caller. There's a great reason so many of our attendees come year after year -- it's a sweet, relaxed, sparkling weekend of dancing and amazing music from Kate, Earl, Mary & Jacqueline and the inspired (and inspiring) calling from Susan Kevra, who also joined us in 2017!
Full details at https://ffadc.blogspot.com/ $195. Includes full weekend and all snacks.
We will likely require a negative Covid home test 2 days prior to attending.
Come enjoy our warm hospitality, delightful dancing and varied culinary, cultural and shopping opportunities. If you’ve never visited Fairfield, you’re in for a treat! You'll enjoy our incredible culinary offerings (Thai, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Ethiopian, Gourmet Pizza, Turkish) and world-class coffee at Cafe Paradiso, all within 1-2 blocks walking distance from the dance!

Please include name, address, phone and email. Apply early -- registrations now accepted! We sold out way in advance in previous years and expect to do so for 2025. Your cancelled cheque is your receipt -- please do not be disappointed if you do not get an email acknowledgement.
If you enquire by email you are NOT registered until we receive your check! The time/date of your email will be the tie-breaker if we sell out on the day we receive your check.
Cancellation / Refund Policy: If you need to cancel for any reason, we will allow you to transfer your personal registration to the next year (for one year only). Or you can send someone -- a previously unregistered dancer whom you find -- in your place to this current year's weekend and let us know about the substitution. You handle all the details and work out the payment with your friend. This applies only to the specific weekend you paid for. Other than these two options, unfortunately there are no refunds or exchanges. We simply do not have the volunteer staff to handle these complications. (If you have sent your check late, and the dance is full we will not cash your check.)

LODGING
With our experience hosting over 30 dance weekends so far, we know what dancers care about and are ready to welcome you with open arms. Unfortunately, home hospitality is available only for the band and caller -- we are a very small dance community! Affordable inns and hotels are available nearby and camping grounds 5-10 minutes from the dance. If you are interested in sharing a hotel or motel room with another dancer, you can try posting in the comments section on our facebook page (click in upper right of this page).
Fairfield has an amazing amount to offer our visitors, from the largest community of Stapathya Vedic buildings in North America just north in Vedic City, to the Golden Meditation Domes at Maharishi University of Management to the greener-than-green Eco-Village with its earth-friendly designs and technologies.
