We are now implementing a new standard to prioritize events for members who cannot attend all events but wish to attend the most important ones, 1 being the highest priority to 4 the lowest.
Thank you to the The 3rd New Hampshire Regiment 1776, you are Priority 1 for us too!

The activities at the Morrison House drew a large crowd this year and we are anticipating an even bigger turn out next year. A new group joined the 3rd NH Regiment this year and this new group may also bring another group of “Red Coats” next year to make it even more interesting. Visit the OHD Blog soon for pictures from the activitys at the Museum this year.

In any event, the Old Home Days celebrations this past weekend made me realize how much I will miss this beautiful old New Hampshire town which is commercializing too fast, and may not be so beautiful and small and strewn with orchards when I return. I browsed the recently uploaded pictures on the Old Home Days site in (mostly vain) hopes of finding pictures of the sparring and other karate demos we put on and although I found little in the way of karate photos, I need, compulsively, to share a few shots with you of everything else – the things that make me wish I weren’t leaving. Those of you who live here will attest to the fact that the town is, indeed, so lovely as it seems:

Snooping around the internet the Answer Pup found this private web log. They are looking for feedback, do it here by touching “comments” do it on their site by touching “talk to me”.
So it is Old Home Day in glorious Londonderry, and the kids and I went to the fireworks tonight. I didn’t want to go, i wanted to sit at home and veg, but I’m glad I did. They were spectacular, and the kids and I had a wonderful time. At one point, Ms. Abbie was laying on the blanket, leaning back against me, and Mr. Zach was sitting next to me resting his head on my shoulder. It was just a perfect moment

The only thing I hated about Old Home Day this year was that we could not be there. Having attended faithfully for 21 years – for my kids, every year of their lives – that was a bummer. i especially felt badly that I couldn’t march in the parade during my first year as a town councillor – I felt I should be entitled to my share of thrown fruit and eggs!
This year applause for the Town Council and School Board was greater than normal. I am not sure if it was because the parade was four or more deep or if Joe was not there? Old Home Day
But we were just as proud that day, to have been up at Maine Maritime Academy, where our son received his official indoctrination into the Navy ROTC program. He’s the only Marine option candidiate in a group of 20 and will be working toward his degree at University of Maine (yes, that Black Bears hockey school), while looking forward to four blissful years in the Marine Corp after that. He and his mates spent four interesting days with Gunnery Sergeant Merrill, who pushed them beyond their physical limits before they earned their indoctrination pins Saturday.
So we will always remember OLD 2005 for not being there – and the proud reason why we weren’t!

The Old Home Day committee will hold its first meeting for planning of the 107th Old Home Day in August 2006 on September 15th at the Londonderry Police Station main meeting room. The meeting starts at 7:00 pm and is lots of fun. We will discuss the 2005 Old Home Day and how we the committee can improve on the event for 2006. General planning for the 2006 Old Home Day will take place at this meeting. Anyone interested in joining the committee, please feel free to attend.

The Londonderry School District was delighted to have a booth, and a presence, at the Old Home Day Celebration on Saturday August 20th. For the past two years, the district has taken advantage of this opportunity to make sure that our new radio station, WLLO-LP, was visible and as a result of that success, this year expanded to include coverage by several administrators and School Board members in order to provide additional information to the community .
WLLO Operations Manager, John Robinson, was at the booth throughout the day sending out a signal carried live on a local cable access channel. Robinson was able to talk to a number of Londonderry personalities and, in addition, conducted a special interview with Congressman Jeb Bradley.
HR Director, Suzie Swenson, reported lots of folks stopped by to inquire about substitute teaching and a good number have already followed up with a trip to the district office to fill out the paperwork! In addition, Board Members, Ron Campo and Paul Margolin, Assistant Superintendent Mark Blount and Principals Carol Mack and Rich Zacchilli took turns providing coverage and Superintendent Nate Greenberg was also on hand and able to snag an interview for WLLO with Capt. Bill Hart of the Londonderry Police Department.
All involved agreed the day was enjoyable, and a great way to connect with the community. We’re already thinking about ways to make the booth even better and we’ll definitely be back next year! Our thanks to the Londonderry OHD Committee for all their efforts in making this a special event.

The contemporary Christian concert on the common featuring “Youthstorm” was a great way to end the Old Home Day celebration. Many attend and enjoyed the concert. The weather was fabulous and the entire event was a super success. Thank to the Londonderry Clergy for all of their help.
The 2019 Old Home Day Brochure is available for downloading. Keep checking for more updates as more events and booths are finalized.
This year the theme for the 120th Old Home Day Celebration is "300 Years of Family and Friends." The winning entry came from Ms. Murphy's 4th Grade Class at South School.
