The North Fairhaven Improvement Association’s annual Touch-A-Truck event had a steady stream of visitors in the morning, right up until the heat got oppressive on Sunday, 8/17/25, at Livesey Park.
The park had big trucks from the public works department, a fire truck, police cruiser, a Bristol County Sheriff’s Office K9 unit, a few cool looking cars and more. The fire department even fired up the hose to cool kids off.
