Mt. Washington Carriage Road Old Home Day, 2011

We had a gorgeous day with lots of fun and games!

Take a step back in time to the fair!

Saturday, July 2, 2011

It was a celebration of Americana at the Mt. Washington Auto Road. With a day full of old time fun that harkens back to a simpler time.

Old time games included, Hopscotch, Jump Rope, Marbles, Jacks, Tiddlywinks, Badminton, Croquet and Graces.

We also had old-fashioned races and contests: Stick & Hoop, Sack, Three-Legged and Wheelbarrow Races; a Pie-eating Race, a Pie-tasting contest, and a Watermelon seed-spitting contest.

Tethered hot air balloon rides and horse-drawn wagon rides will be available for a fee. And no carnival would be complete without a dunk tank!

The Glen View Cafe had hamburgers and hotdogs, in addition to the other vendors who sold fresh hot pretzels, kettle corn, snow cones and cotton candy.
