LOVELL — The Lovell Recreation Department and the Old Home Days Parade are pleased to announce the 18th Annual Lovell Old Home Days 5K Race and Parade. This year’s run is on Saturday, July 15 at 8:45 a.m. Only the first 100 registered runners are guaranteed a t-shirt, so be sure to sign up early. Registration is available online at www.running4free.com or by contacting Race Director Stan Tupaj at [email protected] or 207-925-1500. Visit Lovell5K.com for more information.
The 5K Run precedes the Old Home Days Parade and begins the day’s festivities. Family members are encouraged to cheer the runners along the route, enjoy the parade and participate in all the activities at the Lovell Athletic Field, including the popular (and free) Lollipop Run for children. Other post-race activities include food, drinks, fun, and games for the whole family to enjoy! A live band will entertain everyone at the Gazebo!
This year, we are proud to announce that Bruce and Pat Thurston will serve as the Grand Marshalls for the parade as we honor their long and dedicated service to our community and begin to enjoy their retirement with the sale of Thurston’s Garage. As part of the parade, there will be a large tractor tribute to Donnie Chandler, owner of Lovell Village Garage. Donnie was well-known throughout New England for his love and passion for all things tractors!
