Old Home Days

Old Home Days Cancelled

Our plan was for Old Home Days to return on September 11, 2021, complete with Plainfield’s unique parade, the Fire Department Chicken BBQ and offerings at the Rec Field, an evening street dance on Saturday and the Old Home Days Revue on Friday, September 10th. With increasing Delta variant COVID-19 infections in our area, on August 24 we first cancelled the parade and the Revue. On Friday, August 27, The Fire Department cancelled their wonderful chicken BBQ. The Select Board met and cancelled the remainder of 2021 Old Home Days on August 30.

Let’s plan for a splendid 2022 Plainfield Old Home Days on Saturday, September 10, 2022! Not too early to begin planning skits for the Old Home Days Revue on Friday, September 9, or to begin preparing your floats for our 2022 Old Home Days Parade. If you’d like to help with 2022 Plainfield Old Home Days and Revue, please contact Town Clerk Linda Wells.

In the meantime, since the Chicken BBQ is an annual fundraiser for the volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, if you’d like to contribute to this wonderful organization, send a check to Plainfield Fireman’s Club, PO Box 217, Plainfield, VT 05667 or drop your into the slot at the Town Clerk’s Office, 149 Main Street. Or contact Fire Chief Greg Light to join the Fire and Rescue Department.

Thanks to Rick Pope for this very cool drone video of Old Home Days 2018 "Stand" activity at the Recreation Field. Drawn on the rec field from south (top) to north (bottom), Plainfield's map allows residents to "stand in the place where they live!").
