Sheffield Field Day

This event has been permanently postponed due to lack of interest.

Each Labor Day Sheffield holds its annual Field Day, with a parade and various activities, contests and events, to benefit the Sheffield-Wheelock Fire Department, Food Pantry, camp scholarships and other worthwhile causes.

Field Day, as it is known, is much different than when it first started more than 67 years ago. It was a harvest celebration with sports contests, food and garden displays. Then parents wanted a way to keep their children off the roads, so parades, music and games were added. Now we have a parade, pony pulling, a midway with games, bingo, music, a floral hall full of displays and events to be involved with such as a dessert and silent auction and a raffle. A fiddlers' contest was added a few years ago and is highly attended. there is a chicken barbecue, and two food booths with added french fries and fried dough. Corn on the cob is a delightful treat as well as candied apples and cotton candy. This is a wonderful day for coming back to renew friendships. Usually over one thousand people attend. Field Day revenues help the Sheffield-Wheelock Volunteer Fire Department, camp scholarships, children's Christmas goodies, needed repairs to the Town Hall and items such as a donation towards a new dishwasher.


A Harvest dinner in October is another way for people to come together.


All residents are welcome to help by offering ideas and assisting with the Field Day. committee meetings are held the second Wednesday of the month, March through September, at the Town Hall.
