Still looking for photographs from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
In 1969 the new formed Haddam Neck Fire Company held their first fundraising event at the Haddam Neck fair. The "dunk tank" gave customers a chance to strike a target with a ball and dunk a member of the fire department in a large, cold tank of water. Funds from the "dunk tank" were used to buy equipment for the department. Below is a photograph of volunteer fireman Wayne Denman "dressed in his best" at the fair dunk tank.

1911- "The Haddam Neck Fair was a huge success and it was estimated that some 1,500 people were present. Taking on the nature of Old Home Week there was much visiting and meeting of friend. The new grange hall now nearly completed was used, the lower floor for serving dinners and the upstairs for the exhibit of fruit, fancy work, canned fruit and more."
