Get ready to mark your calendars for the 2nd Annual Welcome Home to Main Street in Plymouth, New Hampshire, on Saturday, October 5, 2024! This lively event is part of Plymouth State University’s Homecoming celebration, and it promises to be a fantastic day filled with fun, community spirit, and local flair. Whether you’re an alum, a family member, a student, or just someone curious about what Plymouth has to offer, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into the heart of the town.
What’s Happening?
The festivities kick off with the chance to grab a passport at any participating business or the PSU alumni tent in the tailgate section. This passport isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s your ticket to exploring the local businesses that make Main Street special. Participating companies will stamp your passport as you shop and dine through town. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a good stamp? Some places even offer specials, discounts, and giveaways to sweeten the deal.
Live Music and Local Artisans
From 4 PM to 6 PM, enjoy live music by the Rusty Bones band in the Plymouth Town Common. Nothing brings people together like good tunes and good vibes! So grab your friends and family, find a cozy spot on the grass, and soak in the atmosphere. But wait—there’s more! Before the music starts, swing by the Maker’s Market by the turf field from 11 AM to 2:30 PM.
This market showcases local artisans, including current students and alumni from Plymouth State. You’ll find unique handmade goods that reflect the creativity and talent of our community. Just a heads up: while you can’t get passport stickers here, you can score some one-of-a-kind items that might just become your new favorite treasures.
Win Big!
Feeling lucky? After you’ve gathered all those stamps on your passport, snap a picture of it and send it to alumni@plymouth.edu by 7 PM on October 5 for a chance to win gift cards to your favorite Main Street spots. The drawing will take place on Monday, October 7, and winners will have their prizes mailed directly to them. It’s like a little surprise gift in your mailbox!
