Fair Haven is a Diverse Community with a Rich History and a Beautiful Waterfront

SUMMER SOLSTICE BONFIRE ON THE QUINNIPIAC RIVER? Just a somewhat crazy idea... Are you in?

Last weekend I was in Providence, RI - they have there an amazing public art understanding.  The non-profit organization WATERFIRE is turning a downtown waterfront into an awesome performance arts scene...  I was jealous.  New Haven long time ago decided to cut off itself from the waterfront and very little of public life actually happens on the water,  But a lot of that little happens on the Quinnipiac River... I wonder if we could add more?  I got inspired in Providence...

Obviously, we would have to take into consideration the completely different geography of Quinnipiac River , here is where my scouting memories come.  We cant't pull out a show like Waterfire in Providence, but we COULD learn from Scandinavian summer solstice tradition and have a giant bonfire on the water in front of the Grand Bridge Restaurant... Wouldn't that be a great sight?  Summer solstice 2012 will happen on Wednesday, June 20th at 7:08 p.m. Eastern Time 

I have got already some support for the idea from friends - but, need more.  If you are in, and would like to help please follow up the conversation on the Quinnipiac Riviera Facebook Page... or comment here.
