Discovered gravity under the

Galileo who had two rocks he found
Dropped them and

Though they didn’t know each other
They shared the same thoughts with one another.
That is how it

That they made history.

Barnstead
Old Home Day
Fair Food At Its Best!
Barnstead Old Home Day
Pancake Breakfast will be served again this year on Saturday, August 29,
by Barnstead Fire Rescue. Last year’s breakfast was absolutely
delicious and was a sell-out! Breakfast includes all-you-can-eat
pancakes (plain and blueberry) and each meal price includes one serving
each of maple syrup, sausage or bacon, orange juice and coffee. All
this, for only $6.00 per adult and $3.00 per child. Breakfast will
be served under the tent on the Parade Grounds from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30
a.m. Get there early so you won’t miss out!
The vendors at Old Home
Day are Barnstead area not-for-profit community organizations and they
appreciate your support when you purchase the delicious fair food they
prepare. There will be a wide variety of tempting foods available,
including hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage sub sandwiches, chicken fingers,
French fries, blueberry cake, cotton candy and lemonade. Live a little
and indulge in some great food!
Barnstead’s Old Home Day includes a
very unique event called the Cakewalk. Cakewalk contestants pay an
entry fee of one dollar to walk around a circle of numbered Frisbees.
Music is played…the contestants circle…the music stops… a number is
drawn. The person who is standing at the Frisbee with the same
number as that just drawn gets to take their pick of any of the
scrumptious baked goods laid out on the long table! A sweet treat,
indeed!
The Cakewalk is a lot of fun and draws a lot of contestants.
It depends, however, on the donation of numerous baked goods from
members of the community. You can help by volunteering to bring your own
favorite confection. Any home-baked or store-bought dessert is
welcome – it doesn’t have to be a cake. Donations can be brought to the
bandstand on Barnstead Old Home Day, August 29, at Barnstead Parade.
Please have donated baked goods at the bandstand by 10:30 a.m.
Don’t forget to save room for the chicken barbeque dinner! The Suncook
Valley Sno-Riders are preparing and serving the Old Home Day Dinner at
the Parade Fire Station from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be
delicious barbequed half chicken, served with Flanders Beanhole baked
beans, salad, rolls, beverage and dessert. Advance tickets can be
purchased at Arnies Auto Repair, 6 Cedar Drive, Barnstead, 269-4730 or
at Rte. 28 Bakery and Dairy Bar, 267 Suncook Valley Highway, Chichester,
435-8081.
Tickets can be purchased in advance for $8.50 for
adults, $5.00 for children ages 6-12, and children five and under will
be free. Tickets may also be purchased at the door of the Parade
Fire Station for $10.00 for adults, $6.00 for children ages 6-12, and
children five and under will still be free. This is going to be a
fantastic dinner -get your tickets early, before they sell out!
Letter To
The Editor
My husband was bitten by a tick at the base of his neck in
July 2000. Bull’s-eye by Aug.
The Dr. claimed he would entertain
Lyme Disease if we lived closer to the coast. He claimed that there were
no Lyme Disease cases in Barnstead or Center Barnstead. I am curious if
any cases were diagnosed in the area of Suncook Lake. Please call
364-8544 with any information during that time frame.
Presently my
husband is being treated with Alzheimer’s without typical symptoms.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Janet Aversa
