Calling All Kids!
Submitted By Nancy Boyer


Volunteers from Concord and the surrounding communities are organizing a kid’s bike-a-thon for children ages 2 to 13, to raise money for cancer research and treatment. On September 26, 2010, approximately 200 children will come together to bike in the PMC Concord, NH Kids Ride, at the State Agency Buildings on Hazen Drive in Concord, raising money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Throughout the months of May, June and September, over 6,000 children across New England will work toward a $1,000,000 fundraising goal by riding in local Kids Rides, sponsored by the Pan Massachusetts Challenge. Some of these children will be waging their own battle with cancer, others will be riding for family members and friends who have cancer or lost their lives from this disease, and still others will be riding out of their own desire to help others. Regardless of the reason for participating, this event offers a way for children to actively work to help others, promotes athletic activity, and encourages the community to come together to help those diagnosed with cancer. After the ride, there will be festivities such as facepainting, food, music and DJ, a clown and more!


Anyone interested in participating in this event, as a rider or as a volunteer, can learn more about the PMC Concord, NH Kids Ride by checking out the web site at http://kids.pmc.org/concordnh or contacting Nancy Boyer at 798-5127.

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted by Carol Hendee


First, we must say Thank You for all the wonderful donations that have been coming in. It’s been amazing.


We have an abundance of picture frames at the moment. Also, quite a bit of scrap material for various craft projects.


Nice blankets are also available. Yes, it is going to get chilly soon. Going to need the afghans also. We also have the Kelty backpack for your baby that someone bought, used for a grandchild’s vacation, and then generously donated it back. That’s real recycling! We could use new or gently used sheet sets, all sizes. Something small, but very important, birthday candles and party favors for birthday kits. Stop by and see us in our freshly painted, sunny yellow plaza, with “blueberry” trim! We’re next to Parker’s Roast Beef and open Tues. and Thurs., 8-4; Wed., 11-4; and Sat., 10-4 at 345 Suncook Valley Hgwy., Chichester. Close to the Pittsfield line. Volunteers welcome.


Anyone with half pint or pint canning jars, all are welcome.

 


 

Chichester’s Old Home Day


What a perfect day we had for Old Home Day! Many thanks are due the Committee and everyone else who provided money or labor or food or “things” to make the day a success. Now that Old Home Day has evolved from a picnic into a fair, fundraising has become a necessary part of the festivities. Thanks to those who donated toward the noon meal, purchased a slice of pie, paid for a vendor space, or bought something at the Yard Sale we already have money in the bank toward next year.


Actually, the proper term is Old Home Days, because events began with an excellent Variety Show on Thursday evening. The show opened with a slide show quiz of places in Chichester for the audience to recognize. Then came the singers, dancers, and instrumentalists, a very talented bunch. Thanks to the school for the use of the Multi-Purpose Room at the peak of last minute cleaning and to the Cub Scouts for the refreshment concession.


In Friday night’s Scavenger Hunt, the Dobson Team was first; the Pillsbury-Ekstrom-Pratt Team second; and the Weir Team third. All eleven teams had a great time, learned a lot about Chichester, and want to do it again next year. Cruise Night had fine weather and a good turn-out as well.


Although Saturday’s meal is no longer the only event, it is still a big part of Old Home Day. The Marden family again cooked the beans to perfection, and the all-night pig roasting crew cooked up a lot of roast pig.


Congratulations to Abigail Sanborn, winner of the apple pie contest. It wasn’t an easy choice, because, as those who bought slices of pie can attest, all eleven pies tasted very good.


This year we remembered to take the names of the Horseshoe winners. They were: 1st place – Howard Page and Sidney Howlett, Jr.; 2nd place – Mark Comeau and Dana Pearl, 3rd place – Gloria Millette and Ricky Bennet.


The first place parade float was Main Street Hollow. Second was the Cub Scouts, and third was Lake Side Organic Farm. For cars in the parade the Reo belonging to Walt and Paul Sanborn was first. “Blast” was second, and the blue Mustang was third.


The tractor pulls and the draft horse competition kept the participants very busy and provided entertainment for the on-lookers. The food vendors did a brisk business all day as did the yard sale tent. The BJ Hickman Magic Show was a big hit with children and adults alike. Saturday ended with a band concert and fireworks.


The Old Home Day Committee meets all year and is always looking for new members and new ideas. They have so much enthusiasm that they plan the Christmas tree lighting in December just to keep the energy flowing in the off-season.
