Happy Retro Easter Times
No matter the religious belief, Easter and spring both signify rebirth. And there are many festive traditions and celebrations surrounding it all.
Over the years, we’ve seen plenty of Rumson-Fair Haven area people donning their best Easter outfits, bonnets and all, hunting for chocolate and eggs, prizes and even a few Peeps. And then there are those visits with that freakish Easter Bunny and tussles at the hunts that provoke the most classic of miserable children poses.
But, most of all, it’s a time to reflect on new beginnings giving birth from the most treasured of memories. Here are some from our friends and neighbors over the years …
Happy Easter! Happy spring! Happy blooming!

Well, it’s that classic Easter egg hunt time of the year. There have been many over the years and this past weekend in the R-FH area.
In Fair Haven, officials call it the quickest event of the year, usually lasting a mad rush few minutes, if not seconds.

In Sea Bright, kids are beached with a hunt.
And there are bound to be more egg hunts over the Easter weekend in many a back yard or living room, depending on family tradition. The home hunt offers a bit more time and less competition for those eggs — or whatever.
