Chichester Old Home Day
Many thanks to everyone who helped to make this year’s Old Home Day
a success. Carpenter Park had a very different look this year, but
we all had a glimpse of things to come with the Perimeter Trail in
place and a couple of new picnic tables on the hill in the trees.
The weather cooperated on Friday night with the thunderstorm holding
off until Cruise Night and the Scavenger Hunt were over. Many thanks
go to the Lone Wolf Cruisers for bringing their cars for all to
admire. There were ten Scavenger Hunt teams eager to take their
lists and head out on the road to find answers to the questions.
Julie Raposa organizes this event and each year is more fun than the
last. The winning team for the second year in a row was Kevin Belval,
Sue Bergeron, Anne Boisvert, and Mary West. The Pillsbury Family –
Mason, Carter, Rebecca, and Jim- took second place. The third place
team was Matt, Megan, and Diane Morey.
Saturday morning started with rain, but soon the clouds lifted and
the sun shone on the parade. Carol Frekey-Harkness organized the
parade this year. The Firefighters’ Pipe and Drum Band was a big hit
again. The police did a wonderful job with traffic control both for
the parade and at night for the fireworks. Thanks go to everyone who
decorated a float, entered a vehicle, or dressed up and marched. It
is those individuals and organizations who make the parade possible.
Todd Hammond was the announcer this year, and he did an excellent
job. Scott Palmer of the Congregational Church gave the Invocation
during the opening ceremonies. A Two-Pound Raffle replaced the Yard
Sale this year to provide entertainment and a little income toward
next year’s Old Home Day. In keeping with “Under the Big Top”
theme, JuJu Bee the Clown entertained with balloon twisting. Many
individuals and groups walked the Perimeter Trail and enjoyed a
treat from Frekey’s Dairy Freeze as a reward for completing the
stamping activity. Now that everyone knows about the trail we hope
that it will see a lot of use in the months and years to come.
As usual the bean-hole beans prepared by Linwood Marden and the pigs
raised by Ben Brown and roasted by Chris Weir were the centerpiece
of the day. Cole Slaw donated by the Weathervane Restaurant, rolls
donated by the Chichester Country Store, and cookies donated by a
legion of volunteers completed the meal.
Chichester’s Old Home Day has always featured a meal, since it began
in the 1920s. Donna Chagnon organized the food service with expert
assistance from Ann Davis and Philip Hitchcock who are new to the
Old Home Day Committee. The Chichester Firefighter’s Association
sold hot dogs, hamburgers, and soft drinks throughout both days.
The Epsom/Chichester Lions Club was a big help to Old Home Day this
year. Dave Joslyn served on the Old Home Day Committee and took
charge of the parking detail with a few helpers.
The Historical Society tent was a busy place with Chichester mugs
added to the wares this year. Live and Let Live Farm had a live pony
as well as a large horse statue to exhibit.
The four-and-under crowd enjoyed riding tricycles around the
basketball court. Thanks go to John and Josh for entertaining during
the mid-afternoon. The day ended with a concert by the Shana Stack
Band followed by fireworks by Pyrotechnico.
Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee
Bonnie and her helpers were off to Lancaster for the semi-annual Day
of Sharing event on the 20th. Your donations filled two entire
storage units with good used clothing. Lots of winter pieces for the
people up north. Now all we need is a real winter!
Thank you for your great response to the request for backpacks and
filler items. (I think Staples has been cleaned out!) Those were
delivered the week of the 20th also.
We have had a couple of requests for an item you may have in your
basement, garage, or attic: The “old fashioned tape players”
whether it be with a radio or just a plain tape player.
Some items that are in need for the baby layette bags are disposable
diapers and onesies 0-3 months. If you have a collection of the free
toothbrushes and toothpaste from your dentist, we would love to pass
them on to those who do not have the means to purchase these items.
We’re at 345 Suncook Valley Highway in Chichester. Look for our Open
flag and yellow sign on Mon. 8-12, Tues. and Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4
and Sat. 10-4. You can call us at 247-7191.
