17 Jun 2024 2024 Family Fun Day Lobster Bake | Sunday, August 4
Join friends and fellow Democrats from across Lincoln County and beyond to celebrate Democratic majorities as we gather again under the big tent to share stories, rub shoulders with candidates and other elected officials, and enjoy an outdoor meal provided by Jeff Hurd’s Narrows Tavern crew.
We’ll have live music, fun and games like corn hole, and raffles to tempt your dollars. Please consider joining our host committee! Hosts receive special benefits and recognition at the bake and their contributions help us build our financial capacity to meet the challenge of grassroots organizing for the campaign season.
Noon: SOCIAL HOUR
Great conversation and elbow rubbing, fun and games including corn hole. And don’t forget to bring cash to get your tickets for our annual “Treat for Two” raffle, a 50/50 drawing, and a Tricky Tray Raffle with prizes like an original watercolor by New Harbor artist Peggy Farrell, a gift box of honey products from Barter’s Island Bees, French wines sourced by Walpole’s Chemins des Vins, a signed copy of Heather Cox Richardson’s Democracy Awakening, and more! (Oh and sometimes we auction off leftover lobster!)
Live Music by No Spring Chickens
Cash Raw Oyster Bar
We’ll also be collecting items for the Waldoboro Food Pantry. View the wish list here.
