Due to Coronavirus being still very active in NH and Maine it has been determined that it may not be safe to have a large gathering of families for Salmon Falls Family Fun Day this year so we have cancelled our event.
We have booked the American Legion for next year to be on September 18, 2021. Stay tuned for updates and if you want to volunteer to serve on the committee please reach out to Denise Knowles.
If you are looking for a family activity why not decorate your home and/or yard and send family day committee your information, so we can judge your decorated home. There will be three prizes awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
So, get your creative ideas ready and start decorating. Judging will be on Sunday, December 17th at 6PM. We will post our winners with your permission on Rollinsford town website.
Send your details to Denise Knowles at [email protected] include your Name, Address and Telephone number before Wednesday, December 13th to be judged.
Many thanks go out to our 2017 Business donor as well as our residents who donated funds to Salmon Falls Family Fun Day. We could not have family day without their support.
