What a ride!
Indeed. It’s been quite a ride in many ways for the Fair Haven Fire Department, which just celebrated its 120th anniversary on June 1. Still in service to the community. Always celebrating another year of service and camaraderie. And when you pair some classic Fair Haven Fire Department old timers — actually one then new-timer, now a real old timer — with an old classic of a car on a fun day back in the 1960s, you get a classic snapshot begging for a caption.

The Fair Haven Day 2024 Story
It’s all about celebrating community spirit.
That’s what The Foundation of Fair Haven organizers are stressing about this year’s Fair Haven Day, set for June 8 — not that there’s anything new about that. It’s just that after a bit of time of doing without a Foundation and a Fair Haven Day, they felt that with the second year since the day’s full-on resurrection, the time was more than right to make the theme come to life with extra purpose. And there are new ways to celebrate the exclamation to that end.

Focus: A Memorial Flag Day for Fair Haven Fire Department’s Departed
“Where’s your father?” my Fair Haven neighbor shouted to me from across the street some years ago a bit before Memorial Day.
“Uh, whaaat??” I answered with a chuckle. “Um, he’s in the cemetery?”
“Which one?” he asked.
A bit befuddled and more focused on taking the garbage out than my long-deceased dad’s whereabouts, I shook my head and laughed as he continued with “We can’t find him.”

Public Fishes for Reason Native Fair Havenite Tossed from Volunteer Spot
Fair Haven residents and beyond are still fishing for an answer to an unprecedented rogue wave of a Fair Haven governing body decision to knock a volunteer out of a regional committee of his own resurrection designed to protect the Navesink River.
What was dubbed a “slap in the face” turned into some verbal fisticuffs when a wave of riled residents at Monday’s Fair Haven Borough Council meeting turned out to turn the tide of borough business by defending that volunteer, fourth-generation Fair Havenite and boat captain, Brian Rice. It became a full knock-out when the ousting became official with a contentious 3-2 vote with one abstention.
