Graduation time is near. It’s a time when Fair Haven eighth graders walk that graduation walk and that symbolic trek down Third Street. It’s their last — an ode to elementary school.
They had a field day.
Rumson Forrestdale School students gathered outside yesterday for a traditional annual end-of-the-school-year day of fun and games outdoors. It’s literally a field day. And it’s sponsored by the PTO.
A reprise in honor of these summer days and close encounters among RFH friends …
When summer hits in the Rumson-Fair Haven area, teens tend to flock to the Sea Bright beach clubs … the river … the public beach (yes) … Donovan’s … or they hit the road and set out for a great adventure, albeit a sweaty one on some long lines to a big ride, a log flume, a dip in a crowded wading pool or something else that veers away, like a preppy style train wreck, from the R-FH area summer norm.

Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge replacement and associated roadway construction activity continues this week from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. through Friday, weather permitting, with some new advisories concerning roads and summer Shrewsbury River activity.
What a ride!
Indeed. It’s been quite a ride in many ways for the Fair Haven Fire Department, which just celebrated its 120th anniversary on June 1. Still in service to the community. Always celebrating another year of service and camaraderie. And when you pair some classic Fair Haven Fire Department old timers — actually one then new-timer, now a real old timer — with an old classic of a car on a fun day back in the 1960s, you get a classic snapshot begging for a caption.
A reprise from June of 2016 in honor of summer days in Sea Bright …
Well, the weather has been mighty fine for the official start of summer and Sea Bright beaches are swarming with RFHers.
Oh, it’s unofficial summertime. And Rumson-Fair Haven area folks have been soaking up the positive beaching it vibes and renewal of close encounters with their days at the beach and clubbing it, as they do.
Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge construction work remains status quo, with the exception of major roadwork on the Rumson side continuing this week. All construction continues on the usual 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. schedule though Friday, weather permitting.
• Access to Old Rumson Road from Rumson Road (CR 520) is temporarily closed to allow for installation of a new traffic pattern. Please use South Ward Avenue for access to Waterman Avenue or St. George’s by the River church.

It was no performance.
When Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School Performing Arts (PAS) seniors got together for a banquet recently, it was more like a very real final bow to one another for a bittersweet goodbye flush with impromptu performance and love of the arts and one another.
It’s just one of those unofficial summer days — an everybody-in-the-pool kinda day.
It’s the kind of day when a Rumson-Fair Haven area person wishes he or she could take a swim, sit on a poolside porch overlooking the ocean and rock. Really rock … in a rocking chair at the old iconic Peninsula House.
It’s all about celebrating community spirit.
That’s what The Foundation of Fair Haven organizers are stressing about this year’s Fair Haven Day, set for June 8 — not that there’s anything new about that. It’s just that after a bit of time of doing without a Foundation and a Fair Haven Day, they felt that with the second year since the day’s full-on resurrection, the time was more than right to make the theme come to life with extra purpose. And there are new ways to celebrate the exclamation to that end.
