A cold 28 degrees greeted participants of Fairhaven’s 21st annual Old-Time Holiday event in the center of town on Saturday, 12/8/18. But the sky was clear and strikingly blue, making for a festive atmosphere as people walked from venue to venue. The Town Hall auditorium was filled with nonprofit groups selling a variety of items, and Fairhaven Community TV taking photos for Christmas cards to benefit the Bobby Bruso Scholarship Fund. Vendors and organizers agreed that it was a great turnout all day. Vendors were also at the First Congregational Church and the Unitarian Memorial Church, a book fair with local authors at the Millicent Library, Santa sightings at Our Lady’s Haven, and much more. Mark your calendars for next year’s event on 12/14 & 15.
