Parking?
Parking is usually at St. Pat's Church and in the Shurburne hall parking area.
Handicap Parking is located at meeting house park.
Shade and rest?
After the Road Race is complete around 11 there is a nice big open field where a tent will be set up if people just want to get away from the crowds. We have asked a couple community businesses to make benches for our event area. These handmade benches will be located around the grounds and near the cornhole tournament. The food trucks will be lining up on the side of the driveway to the church and a nice big dining area will be available for people to get out of the weather.
Gratitude?
Morning prayer and opening of the memorial area for those we lost will be at 10. There will be ornaments that can be signed with the names of those we wish to remember.

A Little Pelham Old Home Day History
The Pelham Old Home Day celebration has been an important tradition for our community for the past 115 years! The first Old Home Day was started by the Governor of New Hampshire and its very first event was on August 18th 1906. Every year we keep this tradition alive whilst also working hard to include new attractions for people to enjoy with their loved ones. Thanks to the dedication of the members of the First Congregational Church, we have been able to make this event a Pelham staple that families have loved for generations.
