Old Home Days 2009
The tradition of Old Home Days began in 1897 in New Hampshire and still goes on every summer across New England. Parades, ball games, and band concerts are the order of the day, while new folks get acquainted and returning folks reconnect with their communities.

Too bad Pittsfield NH didn't let you know that Old Home Days in Pittsfield NH is the 18th of July with a parade at noon, vendors, and many other things and a scare crow contest put on by the Chamber of Commerce.
