WOW!  What a weekend for the Dirty Dan Days in Historic Fairhaven.  The weather was fabulous and the turn out for the various events was incredible.

Thank you to everyone that participated and took the time to spend their day in Historic Fairhaven for the 7th Annual Dirty Dan Days event.

The First Annual Katie's Cupcakes - Cupcake Eating Contest was a huge hit, even for our youngest competitors.  Who could not smile while eating yummy cupcakes?
