O
n October 15 and 16, Fryeburg Academy celebrated Homecoming and welcomed seven new members and two championship teams into its Hall of Excellence. New members and their guests were treated to a delicious brunch in the LaCasce Dining Hall before the ceremony in the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center. Athletic events including field hockey, soccer, and football all enjoyed competing in front of home crowds over the weekend, and after a year with little celebration, the return of the bonfire, rock band show, and a socially distanced dance were welcome celebrations. On Saturday, the Fryeburg Academy Alumni Association handed out donuts and cider during halftime to the football crowd, and immediately following the game, alumni headed to Saco Brewing Company for a complimentary beverage while enjoying music provided by Bobby Sheehan ’09 and Jeremy Holden ’10.
