BREAKING NEWS FROM 2026:

• Liberty Street should be one-way.
• Business owners shouldn't take up customer parking in front of their stores.

After reviewing the 1938 Fair Haven Annual Report, I'm pleased to announce that our community has achieved an extraordinary level of consistency.

Some towns preserve historic buildings.

We preserve historic debates. 😄

Fair Haven Swap Shop Alert 🚨

Today's lineup is giving strong "cleaned out the attic and chose chaos" energy:

✨ A basket of nautical décor that looks one pirate short of a mutiny
⛺ Enough folding camp chairs to host an emergency town meeting in the woods
🧳 Three blue suitcases ready for a vacation they'll probably never take
🏃 A StairMaster for anyone who wants to climb stairs without actually going anywhere
🚒 A giant toy fire truck that may or may not outrank our local fire chief
🧩 Puzzles ranging from "easy afternoon" to "why are there 999 sky pieces?"
❄️ A window A/C unit for the three days of summer we get before mud season returns
📼 An RCA stereo system for people who still remember rewinding tapes with a pencil
🧺 A colorful woven basket that is somehow classier than the rest of us
🌙 A New Moon lunchbox because apparently Team Jacob never fully moved out of Fair Haven
🐉 One majestic dragon creature whose backstory is between you and your therapist

As always, if you see something you want, come claim it before someone else adopts it and gives it a weird new life.

The Swap Shop: where one person's "Why do I still have this?" becomes another person's treasure.
