Photos of Pennington Days Past
Pennington Day was born in the aftermath of a huge fire at the Pennington School's four-story O'Hanlon Hall in January 1980 and that the electrically-started blaze brought 19 fire companies to the scene and led the borough and its residents to come together and hold the first Pennington Day, the proceeds of which helped the prep school recover from the disaster. Since that time, Pennington Day has become one of the most important dates on the borough's annual calendar. Did you also know that as many as 100 people volunteer each year to help stage all of the activities leading up to and the day of the event? Throughout the years, Pennington Day has remained a much anticipated family event in Hopewell Valley due to the breadth and depth and combination of activities, exhibitors, entertainment, and food in the small, Norman Rockwell-type town called Pennington Boro. Last year there were more than 130 vendors, of which over 25 sold food, which included an assortment of snacks and treats.
