A letter from the Olde Home Day Committee

The 9th Annual Clinton Olde Home Day will be held on Friday, September 5, 2008 and Saturday, September 6, 2008. We are asking for your participation this year so as to continue this wonderful community event that draws thousands of people to Clinton.

Clinton's 2007 Olde Home Day festivities not only included over 62 crafters, 10 food vendors, valuable information from civic organizations regarding our community, sponsorships by local politicians and live demonstrations and performances but also the Appraisal Faire, Magic Steve and the outdoor movie night. The second annual Juried Art Show had participation from over 25 local artists showcasing over 66 pieces of art. As well the Kid's Korner, Russian Icon Museum and the Rock Wall were new additions and big hits with attendees.

As always the committee's goal is to continue to build on the community participation that we have developed over the years, from local businesses and civic organizations to school groups and churches, etc.

That is why we need you! The application for joining us for Olde Home Day 2008, a listing of items needed for in-kind donations as well as the sponsorship levels for donations can be found at www.oldehomeday.com. The outside festivities are FREE to be enjoyed by all. Minimal fees will be charged for participation in the Appraisal Fair and for the amusements.

Clinton's Olde Home Day has drawn over 10,000 attendees each year into Clinton for this two-day event. These "guests" not only come to enjoy themselves in the Park but will visit our stores and restaurants and leave with a good feeling about who were are and all the special people who live and work here.

We are asking you to show your community spirit!!! Not only is this is a wonderful event to be involved with, but it is also a way that you can fundraise for your group and/or advertise your business as well. You will be receiving a call from one of our committee members asking for support for this yearly event and to answer any of your questions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We hope you and/or your business will contribute in some way to the success of the 2008 Clinton Olde Home Day. The Olde Home Day program itself is a non profit organization but over the years, with help from people like you, this Family Fun event has helped raise over $70,000 for local charities, civic organizations and social service agencies in our area.

For more information please contact the committee at OldeHomeDays@aol.com, or by phone at 978-733-1607. As always you may send a check (tax deductible) to Donna Merriman, c/o Clinton Olde Home Day Committee, Town Hall, 242 Church Street, Clinton, MA.

Sincerely,

On behalf of the entire Clinton Olde Home Day Committee: Mary Carruth-Backiel, Bill McNally, Jesse Rives, Diana Doering, Elizabeth King, Donna Merriman, John Merriman, Laura Taylor, Rachel Vanasse, and Mary Sulkoski
