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.

There are games, demonstrations, looks at emergency equipment, food, smiles and handshakes — and a dunk tank.

Welcome back to Grow with Grace!
As your garden starts to hit its stride, tomatoes are beginning to ripen, cucumbers are coming in, peppers are producing, and if you planted zucchini, your kitchen is probably starting to fill up.
