THE FAIR RETURNS
The state was deluged with heavy rains and flooding Sept. 1 and 2, the remnants of Hurricane Ida, which dumped more than half a foot of rain on much of Connecticut and wreaked havoc across the Northeast. According to the National Weather Service and the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network, by daybreak on Sept. 2, North Haven had received 6.77 inches of rain. Seymour got the highest amount of rainfall in the state, 8.72 inches, with Ida's final punch hitting a stationary weather front and lingering over southern New England for about a day, said Gary Lessor, meteorologist with the Weather Center at Western Connecticut State University.
The North Haven Fair began Thursday and runs through Sunday, Sept. 12. Admission is $10 for adults. Children under 10 are free when accompanied by an adult. It looks as if the weekend weather couldn’t be nicer for the town’s big autumn event.
There’s a new service group in town The North Haven Leo Club held an organizational meeting with its 16 founding 16 members Saturday, Aug. 28. Leo Clubs are the youth wing of Lions Clubs International and encourage development of leadership qualities through community service. North Haven Leo Club members elected Jane Lea-
mon as President, Katelyn Spader as Vice President, Darek Samsel as Treasurer, Aaron Baraquin as Secretary, and Hannah Leamon, Hanako Moffat, Tai Moffat, Nina Novicki and Amelia Shaw as Directors. North Haven Lion Alan J. Sturtz is the Leo Club’s advisor. Throughout the spring and
