A bronze statue of Fairhaven founder

Saturday, September 14, 2002

Dirty Dan Harris will be created for the Village Green. Dan will be reclining on a park bench - sitting and enjoying the ambience of modern Fairhaven. His right arm will be extended out along the top of the backrest, allowing folks to sit down with Dan for a chat - or a photo. Expect an announcement this coming week.

Also expect the announcement naming the generous corporate sponsor of the statue. ($35,000) Lots of secrecy. Can’t tell you who yet.

The Village Green construction will start this week. Expect a mud hole till January. Completion is expected before Feb 1.

I cannot find that third candidate for our Post Office. Anyone know? Phone me at 920-8223. I’ll accept an unnamed source for a tip.

We hear three other businesses are negotiating for service, with one of them being the new hardware store at 909 Harris. Since I arrived here in the late 60s, there have been 6 locations for the service. If you have a PO box, your number will stay the same. More info when we have it.
