Old Home Day success!

Over 110 bidders from as far away as Massachusetts and Manchester, participated in the successful Old Home Day auction. The fire department grossed over $8000. The dinner served around 120 people who enjoyed the home cooked specialties of citizens in town. Thanks to everyone who either prepared food or helped out or did both.

Pictures will continue to be placed here:

Get ready for Old Home Day

Old Home Day is this coming Saturday. Be sure to call soon for your dinner reservations. Consider yourself all set if call 838-6055 and you leave your name, which setting, and the number of adults and children who will be attending.

The 5:00 setting gets the best choice with food and pies. The 6:00 setting gets to socialize and relax.

The auction in the morning is sure to be interesting with the truck being auctioned off. We haven't had a vehicle since that BMW a few years back.
