Alton - Old Home Day - 8/9

Argie's Wife · 08-04-2008, 09:27 PM

Alton Old Home Days are this weekend - thought I'd let y'all know!

On Saturday (8/9), there's going to be a 5K road race, craft fair, fireworks and lots more! I believe there's going to be a parade, exhibits, and a home show again that day - should be something for everyone that day! The local band Bittersweet is going to be playing behind Profile Bank during the day (Argie plays in Bittersweet)!

Hope to see you there!

Is there an antique boat show this year??

What type of music does Bittersweet play? I know Argie has played many types over the years. He played with my nephew many years ago in Laconia.

Alton Bay - Good question.... I checked around and The Baysider had some good info about a chili contest, bike decorating contest, pie eating contest, children's games and a home show but no mention of a boat show... If I talk to Reuben (Alton Home Center) before the event, I'll find out for you...

UPDATE: I have it from a good source that the boat show will be at the Bay from 9am to about noontime. Enjoy!!!

By the way - do you have personalized license plates "ABAY"? If so, thanks for letting me thru traffic the other day! I was grinning/waving redhead in the white minivan! Thank you!!!!

Gus62 - So you know Argie, eh? Well, then you know that the man has never met a microphone he didn't like. He's been with Bittersweet for about four years now and they play oldies rock music - lots of CCR, Tom Petty, Steppenwolf, Rolling Stones, Cream.... you get the idea, I'm sure. C'mon by! They'll be by Profile Bank on Main St. for most of the day - it's a long gig but they're really excited about it!

Yeh, Argie and I go way back. Ask him about Gus. He should get a good laugh! Anyway I`ll be sure to try to make it to Alton to watch the band . Sounds like a great time.

I saw the poster for Old Home Day yesterday and it did say there was a boat show although it isn't mentioned on the town's WEBSITE .

Fireworks start at dusk. (9:00-9:30).
