The Rumson Kitchen Tour Returns!

A sure sign that spring has arrived, the Rumson Kitchen Tour returns! Hosted by The Rumson Education Foundation and proudly sponsored by 1st Constitution Bank, the 2014 Rumson Kitchen Tour will feature seven beautiful homes and their stunning kitchens on Thursday, May 8, 2014 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Inspired tablescapes by talented designers and stunning floral arrangements by creative local florists will highlight each kitchen. Tour guests will enjoy sampling a variety of delicious tastings prepared by local chefs and fine food purveyors including: Fresh, Lusty Lobster, Ama Ristorante, Salt Creek Grill, Cups & Cakes, Freshica’s Juice Bar, Gracie & The Dudes, Et Al Fine Food & Events, and restaurateur Marilyn Schlossbach.  Tour guests will also have the opportunity to meet the expert designers, architects, and builders who crafted each of the featured homes. Hosting this highly anticipated fundraising event would not be possible without the generosity and support of the local community, businesses, and benefactors, with very special recognition going to 1st Constitution Bank as the 2014 Kitchen Tour’s Major Sponsor. 1st Constitution Bank demonstrated their commitment to the local community they recently joined with the opening of five new bank branches in the Two River area by eagerly lending their support to the Rumson Education Foundation in this very important fundraising event. A very special thanks to Mario Venancio, top agent with Gloria Nilson & Co. Real Estate, for his generosity serving as the 2014 Rumson Kitchen Tour Directional Sponsor & Design NJ Magazine for their invaluable support of the tour through the years. Tickets for the self-guided tour are $50 in advance via mail (before April 25th) and $55 online at www.rumsonedfoundation.org. All proceeds benefit the Rumson Public Elementary and Middle Schools. A limited number of tickets are available. To purchase tickets, please visit the Rumson Education Foundation website at http://www.rumsonedfoundation.org or make checks payable to: Rumson Education Foundation, PO Box 395, Rumson, NJ 07760.  Children are not permitted on the tour.  Rumson’s historic Bingham Hall, located at 40 Bingham Avenue, will serve as the ticket will-call for all advance tickets and same day ticket purchases.  Rook Coffee Roasters will be hosting a complimentary coffee bar at Bingham Hall the morning of the tour to kick start the day! The REF looks forward to seeing you on the tour!
