As you know, the Over the Hill Hikers was established in Sandwich, NH in 1979. Many of the local friends and neighbors of the time started marching in the Sandwich Fair Parade each year. It became tradition, and not only is winning a prize for best in our category (walking adults group) fun, the crowd loves us and cheers for us as we march behind the band doing a stick routine with our hiking poles.
Many years have passed since 1979, and we are the second and third (when the grandchildren are in town) generation of Over the Hill Hikers. Our footprint now has expanded outside Sandwich, to include our neighboring communities of Moultonborough, Center Harbor, Meredith, etc. Our routine is still entertaining, and our spirit and enthusiasm is going strong. It's a fun tradition, just like the comfort of fried dough and Italian sausage rolls.
