The Lincoln County Democratic Committee (LCDC) will host its annual Harvest Dinner from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1, at Jefferson’s Le Barn event center, the restored gambrel-roofed barn at 132 Waldoboro Rd. The event includes a menu of  locally sourced stews and soups, and local elected officials will deliver updates on legislative initiatives.

“Jim and Marie Lindsey have graciously invited us back to Le Barn,” said Valarie Johnson of Somerville, organizer of the event. “Last year’s event sold out, and then some, so we urge folks to make their reservations as soon as possible.”

The simple bill of fare will include a selection of soups and stews—with vegan options—prepared by volunteer chefs, bread, butter, locally-pressed apple cider, and a selection of pies accompanied by coffee in an informal, all-you-care-to-eat, family-style format. There is a limited seating of 120.  Reservations are currently available for $25 per person for the meal, with a $50 option to be listed as a host. Hosts offer additional support and are recognized at the event for their generosity. 

The LCDC welcomes nonmembers, out-of-county visitors, or others who want to support the organization to attend.

Contact Johnson at 207-549-3358 with questions.

The LCDC uses the money it raises through this and other fundraising initiatives to support  its 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.
