To all the people who helped with Hampton’s 375
Hampton’s 375 celebration is now behind us. I would like to thank all the people who helped put on this wonderful event. It was not done by just one person, or even one commission, it took the help of the entire community, with many people and various groups, spending countless hours to make sure there was enough “Stuff “ to do. 
Thank you to all the vendors, local restaurants and the Non-Profit organizations that had not only great selections of Food & Crafts, but were also able to showcase their LOCAL business, organization, or cause. (Some not even covering their costs to participate) BUT did so to support OUR town. 
To Rene’ from Hampton’s Rec. and Parks Dept. and to Frank from Hampton’s DPW, thank you to you and the employees that helped you, not only during the weekend, but the week before and then the clean up afterwards. It would not have been a great success without you.
From the Hampton Public Works, Fire, & Police Depts. For working with us on safety and security issues. 
To the Hampton Historical Society and all of their wonderful activities they put on over the weekend, Candy, Betty, & Ben plus all of your members and friends, thank you.
The Hampton DPW’s own Mark Richardson for his help in getting the Civil War Re-enactors.
To thank Tracy Dewhurst and her staff at the Victoria Inn for taking on the task of the Beer Tent.
Dyana Martin and the entire Hampton Recreation and Parks Dept. for not only the game, rides, and events you planned, but for your help in the entire operations of Tuck Field, Eaton Park and its buildings.
To everyone who volunteered including Boy Scout Troop 177, Experience Hampton LLC., Hampton Little Warriors, the Hampton Village Preschool, the Hampton Community Coalition and Tammy Whalen, the Lane Memorial Library, the Hampton Garden Club, and the Hampton Area Lions Club and just plain Citizens like Melanie Spainhower, to name just a few, THANK YOU. 
To Every Business, Organization, like the Hampton Rotary Club, Marelli’s Market and Tobey and Merrill Insurance, and citizens who donated time, money, or product to put this event on, Thank you very Much. 
Lastly to the Hampton 375 Commission, Thank you for your work, not only the long hours of planning that went into to this Historic event, but the work that you did over the weekend.
Guess all I have left to say is the people of Hampton had a GREAT 375 celebration. What will the 400 look like ??????
Hampton is a great place to Live, Shop, Work, & Play Please continue to support our Local Businesses and Events, if you do that we all win…….
