All Democrats and supporters are invited to the grand opening of Lincoln County Democrats' Campaign Headquarters on Friday, August 10. It will be an open house event from 4 to 8 p.m.

Guests can meet and mingle with candidates for the Maine State Senate, Maine State House of Representatives, and County Commissioner. Light refreshments will be served, and entertainment will be provided by Andrew Hatt, guitarist of Wiscasset, who has been quite a hit this summer at open mike nights and Summer Fest. Guests who bring a camera can have their photos taken standing next to President Obama ... or at least his life-size replica. Campaign headquarters is located at 133 Main Street, Damariscotta, between The Accessories Shop and Puffins Nest.
