Special information for vendors

This year is the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Olde Home Day Program which makes it an extra special year for you and for us. We are going all out to make this one of the best Olde Home Day events that we have ever held. Extra entertainment, more amusements, more advertising and the biggest kick-off event that we have ever had will make this a special year to be a Clinton OHD vendor.

The event this year falls on the weekend of September 11th. With that in mind the committee felt that it would be appropriate to remember the events of 9-11 in a special way. We will be holding a three division "United in Memory" parade on Saturday September 12th. There will be three bands, fife & drum unit, bagpipes, color guards and lots more. We will be honoring all Firefighters, Policemen and our Military while we remember all that died on 9-11. The parade will start at 9:11 at Fuller Field and march eight blocks through the heart of Clinton and end at the Corcoran House next to Central Park for a flag raising ceremony at approx. 10am. We expect that this will be the largest 9-11 event in central Massachusetts this year.

"We must look to the future knowing that we can never forget the past." With that in mind the third division of the parade will reflect on small town America values and that the American spirit while challenged, must move on and look to the future. That future is our children, families and our community. The Olde Home Day program is a family orientated community program and all activities will start right after the Flag raising at approx. 10:15am.

We thank all of our vendors for their past support of the OHD program and are happy to announce that we are doing our part for the economy and you by keeping our already low rates at last year's prices. Sign up early for an even better deal and to make sure that your space will be available. With all of the extra activity and programs we are expecting records crowds for this year. We are starting to run out of space in the park and this year may be the first time that we may have to turn vendors away. We would like to also extend an invitation for you to join us for the Flag raising program after you have set-up your area. It should be a moving, short and dignified program. God bless America and we thank our Policemen, Firefighters and our Military personnel for their service and our protection.
