It’s that time again. Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair time is drawing near. The end-of-the-summer tradition that’s been celebrated for more than a century in the Rumson-Fair Haven area. The community eats it all up. That and the food.
Longtime Rumsonite Joan Ann Nixon passed away peacefully at home on Aug. 12 with her family by her side. She was 86.
Longtime Red Bank resident, former NFL and USFL football player, John Dana Lee, Sr., passed away peacefully on Friday, Aug. 16. He was 71.
