Reflection: Retro Halloween Parading
The following opinion piece on Halloween through the generations in Fair Haven was originally published in 2015. It is reprised annually …
Before the parade passes by, this kid from Fair Haven has some parading memories on which to reflect. Remember this scene?
It’s a longstanding tradition — the Fair Haven Halloween Parade.
I remember it well — from my first parade trek back in the late 1960s to the ’70s, 80s, 90s and now.
It all started at age 7 with a wish to be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. I’ve noticed a few in more recent years and the green-eyed jealousy monster of a near senior has reared its head. But I digress … That little dress-up fantasy of the 60s of mine was foiled when my mother couldn’t get the gingham outfit together, my pigtails were not so poised for the silver screen look and my sister refused to crawl down Hance Road as Toto.
I guess it was bad enough that from the age of 3, she was forced by this pint-sized dominatrix 5-year-old Dorothy to crawl on a makeshift Funk and Wagnall’s encyclopedia Yellow Brick Road to Oz in the living room. The neighbors never quite got over it, either.

Retro RFH Homecoming Dancing & Courting
Homecoming at RFH scored big with a week’s long celebration culminating in a win for the Bulldogs on Friday night.
Yes, there was a lot of celebrating, but there was no dancing. Well, there was no official RFH dance hosting alumni coming home and seniors on the night before Thanksgiving like decades ago. And the event? Well, it’s all about October. Has been for some time..

An RFH Homecoming and Tower Clock Fundraiser
It’s that time. Time for Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School’s homecoming game and festivities. It’s also prime time for raising funds to turn back time to the days when the signature RFH Tower clock worked.
That time, for all that tradition, albeit altered a lot over the years, is tonight.
After a week of what has been dubbed “spirit days” and “battle of the classes,” there was a homecoming festival on Thursday at the Dawg House replete with rides, dunk tank, treats and the battle of the classes events with prizes. This newer tradition started in 2012, doing away with the usual homecoming dance at RFH and earlier tossing aside the Thanksgiving Day game against Red Bank Catholic tradition before dinner on Turkey Day.
Staff, in 2012, said no one was showing for the dance and it was too cold and inconvenient to have the homecoming game on Thanksgiving. Though, decades ago, Borden Stadium or RBC was packed with alum and present students at these games. The dance? It was always a draw for RFH alum coming home from college for the first time and present seniors.
But we digress … The homecoming culmination tonight is the game and the final halftime homecoming court festivities. There’s also that RFH Tower clock fundraiser.
Here’s how it will play out …
Each class decorated its own homecoming float with a theme of choice. The floats will be paraded, chauffeuring the homecoming court, at tonight’s homecoming game, which is set for a 7 p.m. start against Donovan Catholic High School. Floats will be voted on by audience members for best design.
And in the middle of it all, the RFH PTO will be raising funds to have that RFH Tower clock, on which time has stopped for decades, wind up and tell time once again.
Tonight, people can pose with the classic DeLorean Time Machine from 5 to 9 p.m. in the RFH Football Lot.
Here’s more about the fundraiser, courtesy of the PTO …
Time for a touchdown of a homecoming! Go Bulldogs!
