A big weekend is coming up for Lovell: Lovell Old Home Days! This weekend of fun and festivities is an annual tradition for the town and is a time for year-rounders and summer folk alike to celebrate all things Lovell! Lovell Old Home Days is taking place this year from Friday, July 20th through Sunday, July 22.

Kicking off the weekend is Harvest Gold Gallery’s own event, our 17th Annual Artist Reception and Open House! Occurring Friday the 20th, from 3:00 to 6:00pm, Harvest Gold is proud to kick off the weekend with an evening of fine art and good friends! Join us as we celebrate local artists, and get together for fine art, good cheer, and delicious hors-d’oeuvres provided by Severance Lodge Club! The Gallery is also celebrating turning 21, so this event is doubling as a birthday party for us.

Happening Saturday is the town parade, beginning at 9:00am and winding down Main Street to the sports fields, and the 5k race which leads runners through some of the most beautiful areas in town. Cheer them on if you see them go by! And remember that several roads through town will be closed for several hours because of the parade and race, and so be sure to use the detours posted.

Also Saturday is the fun fair at the Lovell Rec. sports fields. Fun for the whole family, the fair is home to several booths for local attractions like the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, live music, a tent with delicious lunch foods, and games and races for the kids!

Concluding the weekend on Sunday is the Lovell Historical Society’s Summer Fair! From 10:00 to 3:00 head on over to the Lovell Historical Society to see booths set up by many of your favorite local craftsmen and businesses. Beginning at 11:00 the LHS is hosting an auction of gifts and items unique to Lovell, including a beautifully handcrafted sterling silver cuff bracelet donated by Harvest Gold! The bracelet is a 1” Perfectly Puddled Wave cuff, and Bill will custom size it for the winner.

Have a great time at Lovell Old Home Days this year! Love from Lovell!
