The OHD Country Fair provides the opportunity for artisans to showcase and sell their handiworks. From handmade jewelry, pottery, baskets and more you are sure to find something you can’t live without! Space is also available for local civic groups and individuals to display information and chat with the community about their various activities.
Country Fair will once again be located at the Carlisle School parking lot under the solar array panels, which provide sun and rain protection.
Exhibitors and vendors may apply for a space by completing the Space Request Form here
OHD Country Fair is a great place to meet your crafty friends and neighbors!
OHD Needs Your Support!
As we move into late winter, our thoughts turn to planning for the many Old Home Day events that will be offered on the weekend of June 24. There are perennial favorites such as the Great Parade, Country Fair and Kids Games, as well as new offerings like Williams Be Yourself Parkour challenge and the Music Festival.
OHD truly has something for everyone! It is a wonderful time to connect with old friends and meet new ones. OHD changes each year as we continue to experience the events another year older, perhaps with new family members, or remembering those who are no longer with us. Each year OHD provides us with the wonderful opportunity to make new memories. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our volunteers and our community.
Although OHD is a town-wide event, and we are grateful for the time put in by DPW, The Police and Fire Departments, we receive no direct support by the Town of Carlisle. To put on the many events, we rely solely on donations from the community.
It may surprise you to learn that the cost to put on OHD runs from $10,000 to $12,000 each year. From equipment rentals (tents, tables, port-a-johns and more), facility and insurance fees, and printing and mailing fees, the costs add up quickly.
Our fundraising goal this year is $11,000. People like you are the reason OHD exists today. Please join us in supporting our community and keeping OHD thriving for years to come!
