Saturday, August 18, is Chichester’s Old Home Day. If you need to be
traveling on Route 28 between Deer Meadow Road and Swiggey Brook
Road you might want to do so before 9:30 am or after 11:30 am in
order to avoid traffic congestion caused by the parade.

Teams will leave Carpenter Park in their own vehicles and travel

asked to collect a business card or brochure. They may have to

describe a particular part of a building or landmark. Teams will
receive points for each correct item or answer. Those teams with the
highest point totals will be awarded prizes.

OK! To be fair to those who cannot get to 1/2 price day on the last
Thursday of the month, here goes. One Saturday every six
months, everything in the store will be 1/2 price. The first
1/2 price Saturday will be August 25th, from 10 am - 4 pm. If
an item is 25¢, take two. Mix and match, a video and a book for
example; a candle and a piece of tupperware. There are many items in
the store that sell for 25¢.
There might also be some “surprises” as in Christmas items, weather
permitting! Everything is included; brand names and jeans,
appliances, quilts, etc.
Our normal days are Mon. 8-12, Tues. and Thurs. 8-4; Wed. 11-4 and
Sat. 10-4 on Route 28 next to Parker’s Family Restaurant in the long
yellow building. You can call us at 247-7191.
