Porcupines Gather in New Hampshire for Annual Freedom Festival
Freedom lovers invade New Hampshire again... the 2nd annual Free State Project Porcupine Freedom Festival will attract upwards of 500 people interested in liberty, and continue promote the state's many advantages in becoming the 'Free State'. The festival, also known as "PorcFest", runs from July 23rd through the 31st.
Lancaster, NH (PRWEB) July 14th 2005 -- The Free State Project, an effort to
get liberty-minded activists to migrate to New Hampshire, will hold its second
annual celebration in Lancaster. It will attract upwards of 500 people. The
Porcupine Freedom Festival, also known as "PorcFest", runs from July 23rd
through the 31st.
Attendees will have a very wide range of activities
and excursions to choose from, including classes and speakers on a variety of
issues, a mock town hall meeting, a full fledged rock concert, a tour of
selected NH cities, an introduction to the shooting sports, a hike up Mt.
Liberty, and a number of luncheons and dinners with various themes.
Alternatively, guests may opt to just take in the scenic beauty of the area and
simply relax and socialize with fellow activists in the campground. Free State
Project participants are sometimes referred to as "porcupines", after the
group's mascot.
Speakers this year include 2004 LP Presidential Candidate
Michael Badnarik, author James Bovard, privacy advocate Katherine Albrecht, FSP
founder Jason Sorens and other members of the FSP leadership, as well as many
other activists from around New Hampshire.
Varrin Swearingen, PorcFest
organizer, believes this may be the best-attended libertarian event of the year.
"We already have 333 people pre-registered, a large increase over last year.
Based on last year's registrations and attendance, we expect between 400 and
500, making PorcFest the premier pro-freedom event of 2005."
Roger's
Campground, the largest camp facility in New Hampshire, will again host the
event. Roger's offers both motel rooms and camp sites with all of the
amenities.
There is no admission charge for PorcFest '05 although some
extra-curricular activities may have a small charge. For those who do not stay
at Roger's Campground, there is a small daily entrance fee charged by
Roger's.
About the Free State Project
The Free State Project is an
agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where
they will "exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society
in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and
property." The success of the Project would likely entail reductions in taxation
and regulation, reforms at all levels of government to expand individual rights
and free markets, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating
the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world.
