漢考克(Hancock)的老家日
地方性遺產
您喜歡野餐嗎？新罕布夏漢考克的居民非常的喜歡野餐，1879年開始，由原只是家庭式的小規模野餐擴大為包括了全鎮鎮民及所有曾住在當地民眾的大型野餐！
漢考克慶祝「老家日」的習俗已逾120年，這項習俗包括了漢考克鎮的野餐大會(Hancock
Town Picnic)及遊行。1999年時的老家日遊行中還包含了一台千禧蟲花車！鎮民認為這個聚會能鼓勵那些離鄉居民趁機回鄉造訪，很明顯的，州內的其他居民也認為這是一個好主意。時至今日，各國各地的親朋好友及新罕布夏州的後裔子孫都會收到來自漢考克鎮的邀請函，邀請他們回鄉來參加此一由全州共同參與的慶祝活動。1899年時，新罕布夏州的州長法蘭克羅賓斯(Frank
Rollins)正式將老家日列入州假日。
Do you like picnics? The people of Hancock, New Hampshire, like them so much that what started as a family picnic in 1879 has grown into a picnic that includes the whole town and anyone who has ever lived there!
Hancock has celebrated Old Home Day for more than 120 years. The celebration includes the Hancock Town Picnic and a parade. In 1999, the Old Home Day parade included a Y2K Bug float! Townspeople see the gathering as a way to encourage others who have moved away to come back and visit. Apparently, other people in the state thought it was a good idea as well. Today, invitations are sent out across the country to relatives and New Hampshire descendants to return for the statewide celebration. In 1899, New Hampshire Governor Frank Rollins made Old Home Day a state holiday.
