Applications Now Being Accepted for Canterbury’s Old Home Day 2023

The Canterbury Historical Society is currently taking applications for exhibitors and vendors for Old Home Day which will be held on Saturday, September 30th, 2023 from 10 am to 3 pm on the town Green.

If you’d like to be a part of this fall favorite, please download, print out, complete and mail all three pages of the application at your earliest convenience as space on the grounds layout is on a first come, first served basis. Previous exhibitors will receive preference in the location of their spaces, but only until May 1. The earlier we receive your application, the more likely it is that we could accommodate any special requests you may have regarding your space.

Old Home Day is a popular community fall celebration with an old-time theme, focused on historical displays, reenactors, farmers, displays of friendly animals, historical trades, and hand-made goods. It is not a venue for reselling manufactured goods but crafters of homemade items are welcome and encouraged to apply. The Old Home Day Committee will consider all exhibitor applications and approve or decline them at the committee’s discretion.

For questions or more information, contact Old Home Day Chairperson Emily Logee-Savoie at 860-319-9784, if you leave a voice message please be sure to include your call-back number. Or you can email Emily at elogeesavoie@yahoo.com.

We look forward to seeing you there!
