Registration • Lodging • Vending • Schedule • We'll Be There List • Porcs Helping Porcs
When was the last time you were together with hundreds of fun, motivated, optimistic, pro-liberty individuals? Well, if you are like many, it was last year at PorcFest 2006.
PorcFest is about bringing together people that are, in any shape or form, connected to the Free State Project. Whether you are simply curious, whether you are a friend of the FSP, whether you are a signer of the Statement of Intent, whether you are originally from New Hampshire, or whether you are have already moved, PorcFest is the place to meet, talk, plan, and enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the Live Free or Die state.
Attendees will be able to choose from events in several categories:
- Bus Tours: organized trips to various parts of NH
- Birds-of-a-Feather Meetups: meet with other attendees with similar interests
- Training: learn the basic skills needed to be an effective organizer and/or activist
- Speakers: hear and question early movers, the FSP leadership, in-state activists, and others
- Sports: from volleyball, to ultimate frisbee, to shooting tournaments
- Outdoors: planned hikes and events exploring the environment of NH
- Activism: engage in pro-liberty activism in NH
- Entertainment: bands, open mike, movies, and dancing
- Social: eat, drink, and be merry together
If this sounds like a good time to you, then we hope you’ll attend PorcFest 2007.
