Hey Fairhaven Guy!

Early in the Summer season, I had seen a nice print ad about Fairhaven to the effect "It's not Europe, it's Fairhaven."

I meant to clip that ad out but got distracted and didn't, and I haven't come across it again.

Any chance you could scan it in? It had a very romantic appeal.

Thanks for calling on Christopher, Cntha.
Would love to hear from you FairhavenGuy!

Chris is a busy guy this time of year--I keep meaning to get over to Fairhaven and take one of the walking tours.

Hi,

Glad you liked the ad.

The full color "It's not Europe. It's Fairhaven." ad ran in the Seaside Section of the Standard-Times. I'm not sure if it's online or not.

A different ad in B&W with the same headline is running in the new "What's Up?" publication.

Yes, it's my busy vtime of year. And Emily turned six on Saturday. There's a lot going on.

Well, Happy Lizzie Borden's Birthday! And see you soon!

This is the ad for which I was originally searching:

Fairhaven village is a very attractive place.

Also, I understand that the Fairhaven Village Militia Fort Phoenix Days Encampment is scheduled for Sept. 9 and 10. Chris and his family were active participants last year, and I had a very good time in a pleasant location.

Lastly, Sept. 29 and 30 feature the Lizzie Borden Ghost Hunter University with Christopher Moon at the B&B. Perhaps Lee-ann can give us more details.

Thanks Cynthia!

Christopher, you got rave reviews for your tour from Doug and Marilou Parkhurst! They wrote me about it and how talented you are! I'm told not to miss it!!!

Yes, Kat is right! Marilou and I took Chris' downtown Fairhaven walking tour (Henry Huttleston Rogers Tour) during our visit to the Fall River area a couple of weeks ago. Fairhaven has a lovely town center with a lot of history and much to see. Chris is a great tour guide and really knows his stuff. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about this part of Massachusetts. Later the same day we took a tour of the interior of the Unitarian Memorial Church which was given by a church member. This is the church building shown in the "It isn't Europe. It's Fairhaven." advertisement posted above by Cynthia. What a magnificent structure this is!

Hi again. I'm back from my week as a vacationer in New Hampshire.

It was great to have Doug and Marilou on my tour of the center of Fairhaven. I'm glad they stayed for the afternoon tour inside the church. It's really a magnificent place.

As Cynthia mentions, there will be an 18th Century encampment at Fort Phoenix, Fairhaven, MA, on September 9 & 10. At 7:30 p.m. on Saturday the 9th, we'll be firing the fort's five cannon--a spectacular sight at sunset!

Also, for cemetery buffs, there's a tour of River-Side Cemetery on Sunday, October 8, at 2:00 p.m. This lovely rural-style cemetery was created in 1850 by President FDR's grandfather Warren Delano II. Both Eli Bence and Helen Brownell are buried there, though we're still looking for Helen's gravesite. Sandy Main is the guide for the cemetery tour and she does a fine job.
