Retro RFH Reunion Dancing
Yes, it’s RFH reunion season. And the RFH Class of ’75 has a big one coming up in September — a 50th.

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.
Retro First RFH Reunion TGIF Cheers
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.

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.
Retro Summer Beach Babies’ Bingo
Ahoy! Ship Ahoy, to locals beaching it back in the summer of ’63, that is.
Yes, it’s a locals’ summertime. Always has been. And the locals’ summer spots have always been a place of respite from the out-of-towner beach crowd in the Rumson-Fair Haven area. They call them beach clubs.
Retro Campy Fair Haven Campers

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.

Reprise. just because … there’s no better time to dive into some summer antics …
Yes, those beach boys of RFH are back again. Is it all clear to take dive into the pool yet? And we’re not talking clear of water …
