Old Home Days

PHILLIPS — Our 62nd Phillips Old Home Days 2020 is cancelled. We will take all of our plans, and have our 200th Birthday celebration of Maine next year. Our theme will continue next year as “Maine’s 200th Year Blast in Phillips.” The dates of Old Home Days next year are August 14th-22nd. This year’s Memorial Day Horse Pulls are also cancelled.
