Fair Haven’s annual borough-wide campout may no longer be a summertime easy, sticky living event, but a first is always a warm memory. This one, back in 2013, was that first.

Things got off to a steamy start, as the temps were high, humid and seemingly climbing. As of tent-pitching time, there were only two crews pitching in the Fair Haven Fields.

The helpers camped out at the campout entrance, told us they thought there’d be more campers joining in as the sun set and people parked themselves for the games and movie.

More than a decade ago, in 2013, it was a bit cooler out and the place was crawling with very happy, and pretty hysterically funny, campers. Hey, get-togethers like this and childhood friends should always be celebrated.

So, the Retro Pic of the Day is dedicated to some truly happy, hammy Fair Haven campers!

This crew, in particular, loved to pose for pics.

Recognize anyone? One is the son of a forever Fair Havenite, raised in the borough and still there.
