Very
Successful Benefit Breakfast
Officer
Grow is pictured here with the volunteers who presented the breakfast:
Brian Tedcastle, Eileen Murley, Andy Houle, Paula Vardaro, Michael
Kowalski, Dave Murley, Bill Evans, Bob LaRoche, Nancy Carr, and Tim
Eade. Gordon Preston was an attendee at the breakfast.
Not pictured are April Ellis and Joanne Locke. Also not
pictured are Judy, Dan, Emily, Megan and Maddie Chase, who purposely
came to the breakfast close to the end of the serving time so they could
stay to help with the clean-up.
The
Benefit Breakfast for Barnstead Police Officer Frank Grow that was held
on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at the Barnstead Parade Fire Station was a
huge success. There was a steady flow of attendees from the time
the doors opened. In total, 175 people attended the breakfast.
Barnstead
Old Home Day
Old Home Day event plans are coming along nicely.
We did have one bump in the road. Or, should we say in the river.
The canoe/kayak race has capsized for this year. Due to foreseen
and unforeseen circumstances, we have had to cancel the canoe/kayak
race. Do not despair though. There are still plenty of
activities planned for all ages. Just to whet your appetite about
some of the ‘goings on,’ you can start the day with a 5K road race and
pancake breakfast and end the day with a concert by ‘Decades’ and
fireworks by American Thunder. You noticed there is some time in
between those four events? Well, stay tuned for future articles
about some of the other day’s activities.
In the meantime, if
you are disappointed about the canoe/kayak race being cancelled and you
have a hankering to get out there and win a race, there is still time to
register for the 5K road race. You can register on line at
www.runreg.com or email Colleen at
[email protected] or call
at 603-269-0136. And, if those ways weren’t enough, you also have
the option to get a copy of the race brochure at
www.barnstead.org/aboutbarnstead/oldhomeday/ohdtext.html or
pick one up at the Barnstead Town Hall. So, put on your
running/walking shoes and we’ll see YOU at the races.
