Olympian’s Homecoming: Jaeger’s Fair Meet & Greet

Olympic silver medalist Connor Jaeger came home to Fair Haven and the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair on Wednesday night; and he brought his medal, smile and handshake with him.

The worldwide second-place winner in the 1,500-meter freestyle swim event in Rio not too long ago forewent the traditional hometown Olympian parade. He, instead, set up a table at the fair and signed autographs, posed for selfies, shook hands and chatted with friends and fans and gave his thanks for the swell of hometown support as he swam toward attaining  his Olympic medal dream.

Rumson-Fair Haven Retrospect caught a glimpse of the Jaeger meet-and-greet. Take a look.
