Nothing like those summertime county fairs: auctions; arts and crafts; home baked food; old books and refreshing drinks. Piche's 24th annual Gilford Old Home Day took place this weekend, and a field of 144 showed up for the 5K road race.

Fergus Cullen won the thing in a time of 16:00, a whole 16 seconds ahead of the next runner. And Dave Birse placed top-3 among the masters, finishing in 18:39. Good work!
