Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Fair Haven’s history.
“I just wanted to give a big thanks to all who made today’s railroad event so wonderful! I went with two of my daughters and three of my grandchildren, and we all had a wonderful time! The games, decorations, and all the great history learned (loved the signs up Main Street!) were all so appreciated! So much hard work by all involved, and I really appreciate it! Great job!!!”
