Saturday is Fair Haven Fire Company Spaghetti Day

Angelo DePonti has been cooking up some fun and famous meatballs in the Fair Haven Firehouse kitchen — Angelo and his gaggle of fire company guys, that is.

The 86-year-old 25-year social member of the fire company is an icon because of his meatball recipe. The meatballs, spaghetti and sauce feed hundreds annually at the fire company’s spaghetti dinner fundraiser.

“I was born to cook and I love sharing my recipe and food with so many,” DePonti said.

This year, the dinner is being held on Saturday, March 19 from 5 to 8 p.m. at, of course, the fire house on River Road.

The dinner is $10 for adults and $5 for for children. For the price, you get spaghetti and meatballs, salad, Italian bread and homemade dessert served by auxiliary, fire cadets and other members. It’s BYOB and take-out is available.
