Fireworks, Food, Music & Balloons

Well over 3ooo people attended the concert at the high school. Where else could hundreds of people dance in the street! Great job Souled Show Band!

Friends of Music sold glow sticks and food to raise funds for the entire music program in Londonderry. The Old Home Day committee would like to thank commercial venders for understanding this is a family community event, we appreciate you respecting our town.

Fireworks

A GREAT NIGHT!!!

The school left the lights off creating an incredible backdrop to the fireworks breaking over the high school. The building added scale to the shells raining down from the sky. Even one aircraft circled the event enjoying the best fireworks in southern New Hampshire.

Hundreds of free balloons were handed out to many smiling children by very helpful young men and women from our town. Little known facts, the white ones are easy to tie, the blue ones are harder. :)

What a great game!

The police won! 20 to 19

At one point the Fire dept. was kicking #*@ but the police turned the tide.

Glenn April on the police team pitched a melon painted white to Fire Capt. Dave Spahn in one inning. The hit was rather dramatic with fruit salad everywhere.

All the proceeds from food went to Camp Pride one of the many charities supported by the Londonderry Lions.

Concert Parking

Where is the best place to park?
Both sides of the high school. The hill is a great spot to sit.

The road is a great place to dance.

Kidz Night Fun!!!

Kidz Night on the common was super fun. The bounce houses, curious creatures, live entertainment on the bandstand too much excitement. Just look at the happy faces all over the common. Thanks Mary Tetreau for the great pictures. A big thank you to all of our brave men and women over at the Fire Station for bringing the big truck and letting all of the children feel like a fireman for the day. Thanks Chris Childs from the Police Department for your safety handouts, and letting all of our kids fell like members of the S.W.A.T. team. See you guys at the softball game at 5:30 at Matthew Thornton Softball Field. Go Fire!! Go Police!!
