Londonderry Panthers, Parade and Food Stand

The Panthers offer great food on the common at Old Home Day, the trailer is on the west side to the right of the bandstand.

I can smell the dogs now!

P.S. Panther Line up for the parade is at the funeral home between the Middle School and the High School. The parade handlers will have them “step off” from that location.
