The 2025 Fair Haven and Rumson Local Government Election FYI

As people go to the polls to vote in Rumson and Fair Haven on Tuesday, or even if votes have already been cast, there are some facts about the boroughs’ governing bodies and their function and history that may have eluded many.

So, the notion in mind that an informed voter is a better voter, early voting or not, here are some local government facts that may enlighten and inspire:

Rumson and Fair Haven are both run under what is dubbed the Borough form of municipal government in New Jersey. There are several forms. While it may seem like a given that since Fair Haven and Rumson are both boroughs, the form of government follows suit with that name. It’s not.

Old News: Political Street Fight, Drunk on ‘Hootch,’ Hallowe’en Hoopla, Hay, Dunking & Fiery Mischief

Woolworth’s Halloween costume ad of 1975/Red Bank Register

Living in the past. Sometimes you just have to live a little … in the past. It’s an eye-opening, or -stabbing, thing. Nothing wrong with a clearer view or jab.

Yet, when someone is told they’re living in the past, it’s usually considered somewhat of an insult. It implies that the person is paralyzed, incapable of moving forward. Not always true, especially when it comes to old news.

A Halloween reprise, just because it’s an all-time favorite photo of costumed Rumson besties …

Are you a good witch or a bad witch? Which witch is which? Either way, or both, the rain never falls on some of the best of times between best buddies. And it all starts when they’re growing up together like these two little witches with lots of magical moments ahead.

Retro RFH Reunion Hoopla

RFH Class of ’78 10th reunion
Photo/George Day

Well, the time has come for yet more RFH classes to have big number reunions this weekend. They would be the RFH classes of ‘80 and ‘75, celebrating their 45th and 50th, respectively. Talk about big ones … Wow!

But, you know, there was always a first … The RFH Class of ’78, pictured here at their first (the 10th) is now headed toward its own 50th. But that first is one that’s never forgotten, mostly because there was still a lot of youthful partying energy, and, sadly now, more classmates still with us. It’s a real milestone.

For the Class of ’78, that was in 1988. So, to the Class of ’82 from the Class of ’78, I think I speak for all of us reunion professionals when I say “Cheers to reuniting!”

We’ll let you know on Monday what antics transpired at the ‘75 and ‘80 reunions. In the meantime, take another look back at the RFH Class of ’78’s first at the Molly Pitcher Inn in August of ’88.

This table was up and away with a little purple balloon, it appears. These reuniting folks are still friends! Are you?

So, Cheers to those big reunions! Report back!
