Yes, it’s reunion season. It’s also this RFH Class of ’78 editor’s birthday season. Ahem. So, there’s no better time to take you back again to a hoot of a 25th for the RFH Class of ’78 at an iconic spot in its original little-shack- on-the-beach form — Donovan’s Reef.
Before Sandy, a “DO” at Donovan’s meant something entirely different for RFHers reuniting. Rather than a symbol of “We can do it. We can rebuild.” it was more like a simple “Let’s do the Donovan’s thing!”

Reprise … in honor of the best of National Night Out times …
Every year there’s a Fair Haven National Night Out. Tonight’s that night.
It’s a night, celebrated on the national level, designed to familiarize residents, from kids to seniors, with police and other emergency responders in town. That Night Out is always the first Tuesday in August. So, Tuesday it is in Fair Haven. There are plenty of Night Out memories to recall, but this featured one is a classic from 13 years ago.
There are games, demonstrations, looks at emergency equipment, food, smiles and handshakes — and a dunk tank.
