A steady crowd of visitors attended Lyndeborough Community Day on Sunday afternoon to take part in the festivities with their neighbors.
The outdoor event was held at Center Hall under a big tent where the band The Pop Farmers performed for the crowd, who had to dodge a few quick showers.
Fifteen local vendors offered local products such as honey from Sunridge Farm, peanut brittle and pies from Maple Lane Farm, silversmith jewelry and wooden crafts from Ashley Rose Design and glass art from A Touch of Glass.
The event also included special appearances by Oscar the therapy dog and a large pig named Sebastian being walked by Kevin Moreau.
“It went extremely well,” organizer Lou Rota said. “We had a good turnout. A great band, The Pop Farmers, from Greenfield, returned from last year. The Lafayette Artillery Company fired the cannon and had a flag-retirement ceremony. We had 15 local vendors with all sorts of crafts and local products. The Fire Department did an awesome job with the food – hamburgers, hot dogs, fired dough and hand-cut French fries. It was just a very successful day. Everyone here had a good time. We will do it again next year and hope to see everyone out here”.
Lyndeborough resident Mike Beebe danced the day away and said, “It was awesome. I come here every year and I love to dance. It’s neat that it is right here in Lyndeborough center.”
