PHILLIPS — Despite damp weather, organizers of the 55th Phillips Old Home Days delivered a week of bicentennial-themed events, creativity, and family fun.

Amateur photographers arrived last week with their snapshots of flowers, children, pets,and outdoor scenes for display in Phillips Hardware’s storefront windows. Dot Haggan’s flower arrangement was a winner in the Daggett Rock-themed class.

Sticking to the “200 Years and Still Hog Wild” parade theme, the Roderick family of Avon drove their winning float down Main Street on Friday evening in the hourlong parade.

“We had our golf game on Wednesday, even though it was pretty damp,” Winona Davenport said. She organized a game for teams which had to play by rules from the 1800s. She brought her collection of antique clubs and balls dating from the 1930s.

Davenport, a fan of golf history, demonstrated the rule of the “stymie.” On the putting green, she said, if two players’ balls were more than six inches apart, there was no provision for the ball nearer the hole to be lifted.

“If that ball was directly in the way of the hole, the other player’s ball was stymied,” she said.

Rules were tweaked and modified over the centuries, she said, and each generation had to adjust to the newest set of rules.

The fun continues Saturday with a day of events that starts with a breakfast at Lindbergh Airport and the golf ball drop from Doug Lisherness’ ultralight aircraft at 7:30 a.m. The drop includes the hundreds of golf balls bought by supporters of the Phillips Public Library. The balls are numbered, and the owner of the ball landing in the center of a circle on the field would win $300. Other cash prizes will go to the next closest winners, and the remainder would be donated to the library fund.

Bathtub races start at 3 p m. Bingo players can gather at the Legion Hall on Depot Street, and a Lantern Run train ride will start at 8 a.m. at the Dill Woods.

A fireworks finale will start at dusk. On Sunday, truck pulls, horse pulls, a children’s parade, horseshoe tournament and other activities will provide an end to the bicentennial Old Home Days celebration.
