Old Home Day

Barnstead Old Home Day 2012 Planning /Kickoff meeting to be held February 8, 2012

The originator of the Old Home Week Association, Frank Rollins of New Hampshire, visualized a week when people could come back to their roots to reminisce about life in the small towns where they were reared.  He saw people moving to the cities and out of state for better-paying jobs.  Every year in August, the Barnstead Old Home Day Committee resolves to continue this home town tradition started by Rollins in 1899 Barnstead Old Home Day’s committee will have their 2012 Kick-off/planning meeting Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 6:30 p.m. at the Barnstead Town Hall.

We will be electing a secretary and treasurer for the year.  The steering committee, in their 2011 pre planning meetings made suggestions for a theme, date and logo suggestions that need to be approved immediately.  We need your help so we can make this day special.

We need help selling ads for the booklet and selling raffle tickets, merchandise and booklets at the summer concerts each Saturday evening in July and August.  We also need volunteers to help with set-up and take down on the actual day of the event in August. Help with the auction collecting, listing and valuing items and implementing this year’s schedule of events is needed.
