Discover Redfield

Get Involved

Most of what happens in Redfield happens because someone showed up. Here's how to be that someone.

Redfield's history is filled with volunteers and community activism. Events on the calendar, the parks, the fire truck in the driveway, the museums downtown, and the always popular Legion Post 261 Saturday breakfast. Each one has a way in. Here's where to start.

Attend a meeting

City Council meetings and Redfield Development Corporation meetings are open to anyone. Show up, listen, and speak when there's something you want to say. Check the calendar for dates.
