Winchester Town Day had its
beginning in the mid 1970's when a group of residents of the town decided that a late
spring community party would be a great way to start off the summer.
Although the original Town Day
was held in 1974-1976, it was revived in 1982 by the Winchester Jaycee chapter. It is now
over-seen by the Winchester Town Day Committee,
a group of volunteers who come together each year with the sole purpose of holding a
celebration for the Winchester community.
The thousands of individuals and
families who attend can enjoy a day of browsing exhibits, playing games, competing in
athletics, eating (!), listening to different types of music, attending the health fair,
and watching the grand finale, fireworks.
Now in its 26th consecutive year, Town
Day continues to grow in popularity as a great way to kick off the summer in a New England
town!
Each year the Committee tries to
recruit new volunteers. Volunteers are needed to work now and at the event. Tasks include
clerical work, marketing, production assistance, shirt sales, booth and stage setup. The
committee can always use new volunteers as well as new ideas. If you think you might like
to be part of a hard-working, fun-loving group, and would like to volunteer a few hours,
please e-mail the Town Day Committee.
