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.

Not only is Wednesday night Firemen’s Night at the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair, it’s also Olympian night this year.
Connor Jaeger, who recently won the silver medal in the 1,500-meter freestyle swim in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, is back home and set to meet, greet and do some selfies with hometown friends and fans. He will be appearing at the fair, in front of the firehouse, from 7 to 9 p.m..
He said it himself on Instagram …
“This Wednesday 8/31 from 7-9pm please come and meet me at Fair Haven’s Fireman’s Fair for a selfie booth. Please come to meet me and give me an opportunity to thank you all for the unbelievable support you have shown me.”
There was talk of a parade, which is what transpired when Jaeger came in sixth in the same Olympic event in 2012. However, officials decided to wait and see what was most amenable to Jaeger.
So, selfies and socializing at the fair it is.
“We hope to see you tomorrow night,” Councilwoman Susan Sorensen said in a Facebook post after thanking officials, including Connor Jaeger’s father, Eric, a fellow councilman, for coordinating the “meet-and-greet.”
The scents, sights and sounds of the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair are in the air.
The end-of-summer tradition in the Rumson-Fair Haven area, the largest community fair in the state, started on Friday night.
Rumson-Fair Haven Retrospect did the usual stroll of the grounds on Saturday.
Here’s a glimpse into the night …

Sometimes I can still smell the lingering scent of funnel cake in my mother’s hair. I can still see her blue-striped Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair apron draped over the kitchen chair. I can see her tying those apron strings. I can see her checking her hair and lipstick in the mirror by the door. I can hear her voice calling to me upstairs to hurry up as I tried to get my pigtails even and the puffy yarn bows tied just right. I’m always late.
And sometimes I can still see us walking down the street, her scurrying, brushing her hair to the side, still yelling back to me to hurry up.

It doesn’t get much more simple in the summer than hanging a cage filled with raw chicken bait over the side of the Fair Haven Dock, netting crabs and catching a prime sunset view in the mix.
That’s what this Simple Summer photo gallery is all about.
Sometimes, too, you run into a small business owner everyone in the area knows. Anyone know who this is pictured crabbing a few days ago?
Hint: He’s known for putting people in stitches.
