My family rented a cabin at the Town and Country Club in 1959. I recall the smell of wild fennel growing near the fenceline and saw the honeybees landing on the yellow flowers of unripe seedpods and the yellow jacket wasps flying around too. On the ground, the cats came to us. By the swimming pool, we saw people tanning themselves while others were jumping from the diving board into the cool pool below. At night, the sound of the band playing at the pavillion made me happy before I fell asleep.
What a nice piece! This brings back memories of a lot of places to meet although not this type venue. Fairfax Park Pavillion, Santa Venetia Armory, Petaluma Vets memorial, wow.
This is pure nostalgia. Fairfax was the best place for a kid to grow up - period! Sisters and I would grab our towels and head down the hill and across town for hours of fun.
I remember getting money from my mom so my brother and I could rent a speedbag! My brother and I would stand on a box to punch the speedbag! It was the greatest place in the world to be a kid.
My mom Ruby Davidson was a coctail waitress there, And Max's daughter Leslie was a very dear summer friend to me. I even went to a slumber party in one of the cabins with her and her wonderful family.Had after hours dinner with Monty he was a nice man. I miss those days most.
I used to go here with my family in the late 60's - early 70's. I remember the scary high-dive and the rickety old snack bar. I drove by it a few months ago and it's still there... all boarded up and covered in no trespassing signs. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Great memories. I remember my eighth grade class walked from Central school to the country club to celebrate our graduation and the last day of school....ah, the 60s. Any one remember me? Cheryl Philpot

Does anyone remember the Olympian Day Camp? My Dad sent me to there at MT&CC for a couple summers in the late 60's.
