A look, in photos, of latest area events, local everyday people and places.
Yes, it’s RFH reunion season. And the RFH Class of ’75 has a big one coming up in September — a 50th.
RFH reunions always involve a lot of partying, gab festing and celebrating. After all, that’s what reunions are for, right?

Reprise … in honor of the best of National Night Out times …
Every year there’s a Fair Haven National Night Out.
It’s a night, celebrated on the national level, designed to familiarize residents, from kids to seniors, with police and other emergency responders in town. That Night Out is always the first Tuesday in August. So, Tuesday it is in Fair Haven. There are plenty of Night Out memories to recall, but this featured one is a classic from 13 years ago.
There are games, demonstrations, looks at emergency equipment, food, smiles and handshakes — and a dunk tank.
TGIF and cheers, again, to reunion season … With that toast, remember that there’s always a first. And when it comes to firsts, there’s nothing quite like that first RFH reunion.
After more than a decade’s worth of stakeholder meetings, planning, design development, final plans and, finally, construction, the long-anticipated new Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge has been completed and opened for travel yesterday.
There’s nothing quite like a beach cruise — in the parking lot of any Sea Bright beach in the 70s.
Call it Dawggone golden … with purple highlights, of course.
Reprise from Aug. 23, 2022, because we’re having a July heat wave …
There’s nothing quite like sitting on the dock of the … river in Rumson. Though this was never seen as wasting time. Savoring it was more like it. Still is.
“This is me not crabbing on the dock during a concert! Thanks to everyone who came out to listen to The Band of the Two Rivers season finale!” ~ Joanne Formisano
No one was crabby about it, just fishing for some music. Call it a simple summer note of musical appreciation and RFH connection. An RFH Performing Arts Society mom took center dock to play to her own tune of musical talent with the Band of the Two Rivers on Wednesday.
Back in the day, Rumson summers weren’t all about going to the beach club from dawn ’til dusk.
For some, it was as simple skipping the packing up of the family, not to mention the cost, and just laying a blanket out on the lawn and catching some rays while the kids played.
You’ll see him around the towns. Rumson-Fair Haven Retrospect (R-FH Retro) has a new intern and he’s on the Rumson-Fair Haven area beat and ready to help out and get the towns covered a bit more. David is eager to capture hyperlocal news, fun scenes around the towns, a little history and events.
It’s just plain campy! There’s nothing like a nice summer day replete with some bubble-blowing, power-posing, bathing suited, short-sporting kids on a mission to make some summer fun — at camp … or something like it.
Leave Lola and the Devil out of it. Whatever RFHers want, RFHers get …
And, back in the summer of ’75, they wanted summer stock theater. And they got it — a brutally fun load of it crammed into five dramatic dancing, singing, acting weeks among RFHers.
