Fair Haven’s annual borough-wide campout may no longer be a summertime easy, sticky living event, but a first is always a warm memory. This one, back in 2013, was that first.

It was just over two weeks ago that a capacity crowd gathered at The Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch to honor 63-year-old iconic rocker Tim Cronin, of Ribeye Brothers, Monster Magnet and Jack’s Music Shoppe fame, and raise funds to help ease any hardships in his battle with ALS.

Summertime … and the swimming is easy … and breezy without a suit. So goes the tale of the start of nude sunbathing and swimming at Sandy Hook. It’s been that way for some time now; but, there was a time when the nude beach debate was on like the heat these days and taken to the bridge, of course.
Years ago, in fact, there were some RFH teens rallying via that classic Rumson “bridge” mode of advertising to get a nude beach going on Sandy Hook. Everyone knows how that went.
Reprise … just because it’s time to sizzle, sparkle and boom in the summertime …
Back in the summer of ’65 … the heat was on in Fair Haven, and some pint-sized bathing beauties were set to walk the walk, if the suit and the bathing cap fit. In the spirit of the season, call them little firecrackers. Celebrity neighborhood sparklers. Whatever the name, they were set for a good, simple backyard game. This one was easy — the suited up line-up. On cue, they struck the pose and gave a big “Cheese!”
It’s the Fourth of July. Cheers to the pint-sized patriots of yesteryear!
The boom of July 4th festivities is set to ignite some fun in the Rumson-Fair Haven area.
A reprise Retro Pic of the Day in honor of Fair Haven Fire Department’s Old Timers’ Day. The tradition continued this past Sunday; and, the Old Timers won under the leadership of RFH Class of ’78 grad and longtime Fire Department member Bill Heath. Now, back to the 1960s with the annual FHFD tradition, now that the new of back then has turned into old. Bill Heath was far from old enough to even join …
Nothing says community spirit like a face full of dirt and smashed eggs on your Sunday casual best. Well, nothing like Fair Haven Fire Department’s (FHFD) Old Timers’ Day, anyway. Add to that the fact that the young ones from back in the day are now the old timers and the losers … of the traditional baseball game that is the day’s focal point.
No, this is not just another fish story. It’s more like a biggest catch boo hoo. It’s all about a father-daughter dance around a couple of fish. Call it, instead, a tale of two fish … and Fair Havenites.
It’s summertime. And there’s nothing like taking a long walk off a short … dock — especially if you’re a Rumson kid in the ’70s trying to stay cool.
