Old Homes Day

August 11 2010

The Sandwich Old Homes Day celebration is a time honored tradition hosted by the Town of Sandwich residents.  For Camp Hale the day usually starts with a campers march from Camp Hale, northeast up Squam Lake Road, to the Center Sandwich ballfield where Sandwich residents eagerly await the campers and staff. Alumni members and their families are also in attendance to root on or participate in the days festivities.  Activities are scheduled for all ages and include sack races, 3 legged races, 25/50/100 yard dashes, pie eating contest, and a Softball game, which Sandwich currently holds the winning edge on.  The day winds down with the Tug-O-War - Sandwich vs Camp Hale ( children only please ).  The Camp Hale Alumni Association sponsors, and prepares, lunch for all participants.  There are also arts and crafts activities, dance lessons, and donated books made available to purchase at flee market prices.  It is truly a community oriented event hosted by the Town of Sandwich welcoming their summer friends from Boston and points beyond.
