Dear Brethren and Friends,
Welcome Home! We are so pleased that you have joined us for the 31st Annual Ohio Masonic Home Day. A special thank you goes out to those of you who have traveled many miles across the state to be a part of the festivities. Our residents and staff always look forward to Home Day and appreciate the fact that many Masons and their families set this day aside to honor our rich history and to celebrate each other today in these special moments at this very special place.
Home Day has some notable traditions that keep people coming back every year such as strawberry shortcake and the parade. This year you will not only find and enjoy those traditions, but we also invite you to experience our expanded activities that reflect the how you like, where you like concept of the Ohio Masonic Home.
This year we have a live band before the parade. Enjoy the fun before your safe travels home.
