Fair Haven mayor’s pet project a go

FAIR HAVEN, Vt. (WCAX) - Fair Haven’s re-elected pet mayor continues to get results!

Mayor Murfee, the second-term spaniel, has already met his goal of money raised for a town dog park.

Murfee gained $5,000 in donations, and thanks to Rick and Lori Kelton, a generous Castleton couple who matched that amount, the $10,000 Fur Haven Dog Park is a go.

Fair Haven’s pet mayor began as a way to raise money for a new playground. After completing that fundraiser, the town moved on to the dog park.
