汉考克(Hancock)的老家日
地方性遗产
您喜欢野餐吗？新罕布夏汉考克的居民非常的喜欢野餐，1879年开始，由原只是家庭式的小规模野餐扩大为包括了全镇镇民及所有曾住在当地民众的大型野餐！
汉考克庆祝「老家日」的习俗已逾120年，这项习俗包括了汉考克镇的野餐大会(Hancock
Town Picnic)及游行。1999年时的老家日游行中还包含了一台千禧虫花车！镇民认为这个聚会能鼓励那些离乡居民趁机回乡造访，很明显的，州内的其他居民也认为这是一个好主意。时至今日，各国各地的亲朋好友及新罕布夏州的后裔子孙都会收到来自汉考克镇的邀请函，邀请他们回乡来参加此一由全州共同参与的庆祝活动。1899年时，新罕布夏州的州长法兰克罗宾斯(Frank
Rollins)正式将老家日列入州假日。
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.
