Reprise … in honor of the best of National Night Out times …

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.

Reprise … just because it’s time to sizzle, sparkle and boom in the summertime …
Back in the summer of ’65 … the heat was on in Fair Haven, and some pint-sized bathing beauties were set to walk the walk, if the suit and the bathing cap fit.

This one was easy — the suited up line-up. On cue, they struck the pose and gave a big “Cheese!”

Retro Old Timers’ Day Tripping
A reprise Retro Pic of the Day in honor of Fair Haven Fire Department’s Old Timers’ Day.
