FHFP Bring Locals Back in Time With Annual Car Show

Fair Haven Fire Police (FHFP) and Womens' Auxiliary are sponsoring the event on Saturday, October 15 from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

Antique cars, music and fun will take you back in time this weekend at the 11th Annual Fall Car Show.

Fair Haven Fire Police (FHFP) and Womens’ Auxiliary are sponsoring the car show on Saturday, October 15 from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. “It is the only fundraiser of the year for these two organizations,” explains Gene Stefanelli, the president of the FHFP.

“The show is a chance to step back in time and think about past eras,” said Katy Frissora, vice president of the Fair Haven EMS. She says more than just cars offer a blast from the past at the event. “Some of the cars have vintage items associated with their year such as clothing, music and displays.”

According to Stefanelli, there will be lots to look at. “There are already about 100 cars registered,” he said. “Usually another 50 or so show up on day of the show. We have had as many as 180 on a nice day!”

In addition to the cars, the event will include a DJ, delicious food including the famous Fair Hot Dogs, games, door prizes and a 50/50.

Frissora says it is definitely a fun event for families and the community. “My boys love the car show and it is a such a fun time for us as a family. It is a great showcase for Fair Haven, for the Fire Police and a way to share yet another special event with our peninsula community,” said Frissora.

Stefanelli agrees that this is a great family event. “I try to encourage soccer Moms and Dads to walk over after their games, check out the cars and have lunch. It’s a great way to spend an hour or two on a nice fall day,” he said.

If you want to get involved in the show, you can sponsor a trophy for $30 or register a car for $10. There is no charge for visitors to see the show.
