Scene Around: Rumson Kids’ Wetdown
They got hosed. It was a modern suburban scene that looked like a vintage city kids’ summer spree. But it wasn’t. It was just yesterday. And it was in a small town — Rumson.

Retro Rumson Island Mooring Improv
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale … about an eight-hour tour, or hundreds, on the river in Rumson.
The part about this typical eight-hour tour in Rumson that doesn’t jibe with the three-hour tour Gilligan’s Island folks is that the kids on these “tours” sailed right into a marooning of their own making on what’s known as Starvation Island, just minutes from home. Who knew or cared, though? No one except the jolly river adventurers.

Retro Fair Haven Gals’ Fair Show Boating

The heat is on and the countdown has already begun to the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair.
And, back in the day, the 1960s day, the fire department, rather than raffling off a car, SUV or a big chunk of cash (as in Super 50/50), decided to make a boat the prized prize of the fair. And they advertised that with the help of some fire department-affiliated bathing beauties.

A reprise in honor of the heat of summer, the warmest of times and freedom and fun times at the Fair Haven Dock among kid friends …
Summer fun in Fair Haven doesn’t get any simpler or more treasured than ending the day down by the Fair Haven Dock, sand between the toes, a few antics up the sleeve, a little seaweed in the shorts, and a crab or 20. Dock time has been a time-honored tradition for kids since, well, the dawn of time.

Retro Keepin’ it Cool with RFH Teens

Reprise, because it’s a scorcher of a summer …
The scorching summer heat lately has made taking a flying leap into a fountain, or any body of water, a goal to which many aspire — and attain as the need to cool down beckons.
In fact, summer days, for RFHers, weren’t always all about beach clubbing it and keeping cool, fun times local.

Heatwave: Oceanic Bridge Stuck Open
The summer heat is on and the historic Oceanic Bridge is up.
And there has been no movement of traffic between Rumson and Middletown over the bridge all day. Police in Rumson and Middletown couldn’t offer an estimate as to when the bridge would be passable again, but it’s a familiar issue to them.

Retro Rumson Island Ploppers
It’s a case of summer island plopping. Yes, that’s right. Island plopping.
That would be the more accurate term when telling the pretty common story of some Fair Haven and Rumson kids taking their own eight-hour tour of the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers and ending up settling down for some adventure on Starvation Island in Rumson on pretty much any summer day.
