No afternoon kid event this year, other than the play which promises to be (prince) charming. Last year's PTO school carnival turned out to be a one-time event and the firemen had no interest in reviving the bucket brigade.
Planning for 2007 begins this fall.
Memory Lane: Old Home day aptly nostalgic; Town celebrates Old Home Day; Old Home festivities offer events morning till evening; Prinz earns Old Home title again; results
Tip: the Old Home Day Road Race t-shirts are really cool this year.
