JEFFERSON, Maine, Sept. 13, 2023 – Musicians Brian Dunn and Laura Buxbaum of Waldoboro will return for this year’s edition of the Lincoln County Democratic Committee Harvest Dinner, Sunday, Oct. 1, at Le Barn in Jefferson.

“We’re so happy that Laura and Brian will be able to join us again,” said Valarie Johnson, the event organizer. “Their gentle rendition of favorites from the folk tradition is the perfect accompaniment to our meal.”

Dunn plays mandolin, mandola, and banjo, and is well known in the Midcoast area for his renderings of Irish folk, music of the sea and sailing, and a handful of originals recorded with The Alehouse String Band. Buxbaum is an accomplished cellist and choral singer, who for the past several years has partnered with Dunn.

“We’ll supply a simple meal of hearty chowders, soups, and stews that will include vegan options created by LCDC volunteers,” Johnson explained. “There will also be homemade bread and apple cider. Our meal is served by elected officials who will speak after dinner, and concludes with plenty of desserts — be thinking of apple and pumpkin pies!”

The Harvest Dinner will take place at Le Barn event space, a restored gambrel-roofed barn at 132 Waldoboro Rd. in Jefferson. Nonmembers, out-of-county visitors, or others who want to support the organization are welcome to attend. Reservations for the meal are $25 for individuals. Guests who choose to make a reservation as a host for $50 will be recognized as a sponsor at the event. Children under 10 will eat free. Space is limited at the venue, so to ensure a seat please make a reservation by visiting the secure registration website at https://lincolncountydemocrats.com/harvest.

Its grassroots mission is to organize volunteers and communicate with voters in support of candidates who believe in the Democratic ideals and principles of government by, of, and for all the people.
