Mrs. Roper Romp Planned for North Wildwood, New Jersey

What is a Mrs. Roper Romp? The phenomenon got started about 10 or 15 years ago.... and it's women (and yes, even men) dressing up as the infamous Mrs. Roper character, for fun, and sometimes charity.

A Mrs. Roper Romp is coming up at Flip Flopz beach bar in North Wildwood on August 22nd. It's free and open to the public. An ad online for the event says there will be prizes, a raffle, and food and drink specials. Proceeds will benefit Cape May County Survivors of Cancer.
