All was fair for sure as the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair opened this past weekend.
This summer marked the first time since pandemic times that there was a full return to fair normalcy with the reopening of the famous dining room and full-on fair sit-down feasting service.

Sails up. Sail on. And exhale …

They didn’t wait for that banner even numbered 40th reunion. They just couldn’t wait.
No, The Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Class of ’83 went ahead and had a pretty untraditional, unprecedented (at least in formal reunion style) 39th reunion over the weekend.
