This year's Lincoln County Democrats lobster bake again promises to be a stimulating event, with leading state and local political figures scheduled to attend. Generous lobster or hot dog dinners will be on offer, plus a raw oyster cash bar and music by Old Grey Goose, back by popular demand. And it all will happen Sunday, Aug. 17, on the beautiful shores of the lower Damariscotta River in Walpole, on the property of Linda and Dirk Brunner.

Invited guests include Second District Congressman and Maine gubernatorial candidate Mike Michaud, First District Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and U.S. Senate candidate Shenna Bellows.

The music and offerings from the oyster bar begin at noon and the food line opens at 1 p.m.

Well known caterer Mike Mayo will be preparing the lobsters, mussels, and other traditional fare. The cost of the lobster dinner with mussels is $35, the hot dog dinner $10. All dinners include corn, potato salad or coleslaw, watermelon and soda.

The participants, the riverside location, and this year’s election challenges promise to make the 2014 lobster bake a memorable one, so don't miss it.

The exact location of the event is 331 Clark's Cove Road, just down the road from the Darling Marine Center. Take Route 129 south from Damariscotta, and an immediate right turn after the Wawenock golf course.
