DIXFIELD – The Western Foothills Chapter of the Libertarian Party of Maine will host an informal potluck picnic in eastern Dixfield from 11 a.m. on Sept. 30.
Libertarian candidates for U.S. Senate (Chris Lyons) and Maine Governor (Richard Light) are expected to attend the event, which is open to anyone interested in learning more about the Libertarian Party, which now has official major party legal status in Maine. The Libertarian Party promotes smaller government and lower taxes while protecting individual liberty.
Will Sampson, who coordinates the Western Foothills Chapter of the LPME, is hosting the picnic on his land with a picturesque waterfall forming the backdrop for the festivities. Access to the site is on Valley Road between Severy Hill Road and Rollins Ridge Road near the Oxford-Franklin county line and just off Rt. 17.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own refreshments and a dish to share, folding chairs, etc. Barbecue facilities will be available for cooking.
For more information and complete directions, contact Sampson at wdshpbiz@aol.com or check the Libertarian Party of Maine Facebook page here.
It is about time a party that wants to promote freedom and less government (which iare also synonymous) became move visible. I ran for the Maine House twice a a Libertarian. I’ll be there if the fates favor me.
WOW!! That’s our old swimming hole when growing up on Severy Hill in the 40’s-50’s. Don’t remember talking politics there in those days, just a real cool dip after putting loose hay in a HOT August Barn.
It is in EAST DIXFIELD not “eastern Dixfield”
If the Maine People’s Alliance is inspired by the Boston rally to suppress free speech the Libertarians can expect a rabid crowd to show up and denounce them as white supremacists, racists, homophobes, etc. etc.
CaptainOblivious, just to clarify, the property is in Dixfield (04224), not East Dixfield (04294), which is part of Wilton. I described the location as eastern Dixfield, since it’s about a dozen miles from the Dixfield town center.
