The Town of Grantham is gearing up for Old Home Day and needs your help.

Volunteers are sought to help with parking, concessions, field-day games, supervising inflatables and clean up at the Saturday event, according to a town press release. Volunteers are asked to sign-up for a one hour shift by emailing Grantham Recreation Director Emily Rinde-Thorsen at [email protected]. In exchange for their help, volunteers will receive a complimentary wristband admission for Old Home Day fun and games.
