The Lincoln County Democratic Committee (LCDC) announced plans to host its annual Family Fun Day Lobster Bake, scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 6 from noon to 3 p.m. The event will occur under the Democratic big tent on the rolling landscape of Cider Hill Farm at 785 Main Street in Waldoboro.

“Each year – for over 40 years now – year-rounders and summer residents, Democrats and Dem-leaning voters alike, have come together to celebrate Democratic ideals with a summer’s afternoon of fun, fellowship, and great food,” said Geoff Bates, organizer of this year's event. “We’ll have folks from Westport Island to Waldoboro and Whitefield to South Bristol gather in-person, greet old friends and make new ones. Our guests can choose from a full lobster dinner, hot dog, or a vegan meal prepared over a fire and catered by Jeff Hurd’s crew from The Narrows Tavern on Friendship Road,” Bates said. “No wonder it’s an ongoing tradition!”

The Family Fun Day Lobster Bake is open to the public. This all-American event will feature live music, freshly shucked local oysters and grassroots politicking at its most personal. The afternoon begins with a social hour followed by dinner at 1 p.m. Short speeches by representatives in government and special guests follow, and there will be lots of opportunities to support the LCDC via three separate onsite raffles.

Full event details and online reservations can be made, at https://lincolncountydemocrats.com/lobster before Monday, July 31. Event sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information, contact Bates at 207-644-8776.

The LCDC uses the money they raise through this and other fundraising initiatives to support their local efforts in Lincoln County. 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.
