Retro RFH TGIF Party Pals
Don’t try this at home!
It’s the balloons. Yeah, the balloons are the dangerous party tools, not the girls. Yet, while it’s doubtful that anyone would call these “innocents” of the ’70s tools, it’s a sure bet that the combination of RFH girls could be dangerous — dangerously fun, that is.
Retro Rumson Boys and Their Boats
There’s nothing quite like river time in the summertime, especially if you’re a Rumson kid with a boat and a best life to bait.

The R-FH Area July 4th Weekend: Fireworks, ‘The Prom’ and a Run
The boom of July 4th festivities is set to ignite some fun in the Rumson-Fair Haven area.
Rumson Police: Driving Under the Influence Arrests
The following June arrests were reported by Rumson police. An arrest does not constitute a conviction. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a motor vehicle offense in the state of New Jersey.
Rumson Police: An FYI on Fireworks
“If it explodes, it’s not legal.” That’s the lowdown on the legality of homegrown fireworks shows from the Rumson police.
With the Fourth of July approaching, the police wanted to give area residents a heads up on what is and is not legal in all of New Jersey with respect to the celebratory sizzling, sparkling amateur backyard light shows.
So, they’re circulating the below flyer to quell any doubts, urging to leave the explosives to the professional pyrotechnics. And ground-based sparkling devices and related novelties are legal.
The bottom line, again, to be safe and legal with your July 4th festivities: “A good rule of thumb is, if it explodes, it is not legal,” a released statement from police said. “IF in doubt, please give us a call at 732-842-0500.
“Have a safe and happy July 4th!”
Retro Rumson Cool Boys’ Dock & Chill

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.
Retro Rumson Barn Summer Showtime
Reprise from 2016, just because we think more people need to remember summer theater fun at the old classic — The Barn Theatre …
Summer is in full swing. School’s out and kids are embarking on summer activities. The weekend is here. So is summer theater.
In fact, The Premier Theater Company is opening its production of The Prom tonight. And back in the 1970s, some RFH teens were acting out … in summer theater at The Barn Theatre in Rumson.
Scene Around: Forrestdale’s Tidal Wave of Fun and Funds
Cindy Zipf was on home turf when she congratulated Rumson’s Forrestdale School students for raising more than $30,000 to benefit local charities — one of those non-profits being Clean Ocean Action for which Zipf is the executive director.
A Rumson-raised RFH graduate, Zipf was back home not only for congratulatory purposes, but to accept the $11,750 check for Clean Ocean Action’s longtime cause of keeping the ocean healthy with thriving marine life.
“Waves of thanks to the super savvy seventh graders, Mrs. Jennifer Brown — Grade 7 ELA & Team Leader at Forrestdale School — the seventh grade staff team, and the staff and administration for your dedication and commitment to your local communities!” a released statement from Clean Ocean Action said.
The fundraiser originally involved seventh graders at Forrestdale planning to walk from Sandy Hook back to Forrestdale, raising money via sponsors. But, when the stormy weather made the walk impossible, the Forrestdale Class of 2026 changed their fundraising plan to a series of activities in the gym that got all involved and earning for local nonprofits.
“It was an incredible event and the tenacity of the students to meet their goals no matter the challenge or the weather was inspirational!” the release added.
