Barnstead Old Home Day Will Celebrate The Centennial Of Fire Service The
next meeting of the Barnstead Old Home Day Committee is scheduled for
Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. at Barnstead Town Hall. As
always, anyone interested in helping organize Old Home Day is most welcome
at our meeting.
Old Home Day is scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2009. This year,
Barnstead Old Home Day will help celebrate the centennial year of organized
fire rescue service in the town of Barnstead. If you have any items of
historical interest related to our town’s fire service that you would be
willing to loan to us for the celebration, we would love to know about them.
Please contact Eileen Murley at 435-6692.
In addition to our theme celebration, the Old Home Day Committee is focusing
attention on adding activities to appeal to the older kids and teens. Based
upon the huge success of the karaoke activity last year, we are certainly
planning to bring that activity back! We are also looking at ideas to expand
into other music participation activities.
You might want to wear your sneakers this year so you will be better able to
climb the rock wall that will return again. And, those sneakers may also
come in handy for the basketball-shooting contest that is being added. Each
year we try to change things up a bit and to add new activities to keep the
day fun and fresh. We look forward to seeing you at Old Home Day!

Miss Kim’s Music Makers
Making Music Fun For Everyone!
Miss Kim’s Music Makers of Barnstead, NH is excited to announce two new
Kindermusik classes for children and parents aged 3-5 year old.
Kindermusik classes focus on the bond between parent and child and use music
and movement to strengthen that bond and educate the parents about the
development of their child.
One of the new classes is being called a Kindermusik Sampler and will run
for 4 weeks in Northwood at the Community Hall. If you’ve never experienced
Kindermusik before, this will give you a taste without the commitment of a
full-length course. It will meet on Monday mornings at 10:00 and will
cost $40 per child/parent pair. Call Northwood Parks and Recreation for more
details at 942-5586 x209.
The second class will run for 10 weeks in Pittsfield at the Community
Center. It will be held in the Encore Dance studio on the third floor.
The
class will focus around a travel theme and the vehicles we use to travel.
The class will meet on Saturday mornings at 10:30 and will cost $100 for the
child/parent pair
A special thanks to Diane Reuffert for generously sharing her dance studio
with Miss Kim’s Music Makers.
