SANBORNTON — The themes for Sanbornton Old Home Day this year are “Sanbornton is Strong” and “Togetherness.” Due to COVID-19, Sanbornton’s 250th celebration will be held in 2021.
The day will be celebrated with a town-wide parade Saturday, Aug. 15, at 10 a.m. Residents are invited to design their own floats. Prizes will be awarded. Following the parade will be a town-wide bring-your-own picnic and blanket.
The annual Sanbornton OHD tee-shirt is also being designed. The OHD Committee invites all Sanbornton businesses to be represented on the shirt. To reserve space on the tee-shirt, visit facebook.com/groups/welovesanbornton. This year sponsorships are donation-based.
As part of the celebration, Sanbornton’s memories of the 2020 pandemic will be captured through a Front Porch Quarantine Time Capsule project. Families will be photographed and provided the opportunity to document their thoughts for future generations. To participate, email SanborntonFrontPorchProject@gmail.com.
