Old Home Day Glorious Celebration31st Year Celebration!July 9 - 11, 2009East Hampton, ConnecticutEast Hampton's weekend-long Old Home Days Glorious Celebration celebrated its 31st consecutive year this past weekend. Continuously famous for presenting Middlesex County's largest parade and for hosting the 5K Glorious Gallop road race, Old Home Days also featured a stellar carnival, great food, raffles and giveaways; and some of the most stunning entertainment acts from Connecticut and beyond. As always, the festivities were held in the field that lies between Center School, the East Hampton Post Office, and the Congregational Church in East Hampton's historic Village Center. Old Home Days 2009 took place from Thursday, July 9 though Saturday, July 11 and yet again, was all about celebrating and sharing the spirit and force of our spectacular community. The theme of this year's Glorious Celebration was Favorite Movies. Old Home Day Parade Theme: Favorite MoviesOld Home Days “went Hollywood” this year with an invitation to parade participants to celebrate their all-time favorite movies. The film-to-float possibilities were endless and we thank our community for creatively directing their own productions. Strut Your Stuff : Old Home Days 2009 RecapEast Hampton is well known for its can-do community spirit and for the collective talents of its civic, cultural, and business groups. Many local organizations sponsored an Old Home Day booth and offered great opportunities to enjoy and learn about how group endeavors, services, and fundraising give-back to our community. Think about how your local organization or business can showcase its services in 2010. It's never too early to noodle a new idea... Annual Old Home Day Raffle!The Old Home Day Association conducted its annual raffle, featuring an array of fabulous prizes. Proceeds from the raffle benefited the East Hampton Old Home Day Association. The 2009 prize list included must-have baseball game tickets, restaurant gift certificates, a flat-panel TV, a riding lawn mower, and $500 gift cards redeemable at Shaw's. We thank you for taking a chance; all of our tickets were sold!

Each year, the parade features a special section for any class that would like to enter a float or march in the parade. It's never to early to start thinking about Old Home Day 2010!
