Help Free Keene Sponsor Porcfest!

PorcfestI have actually already paid for the sponsorship from my own pocket, but if you’d like to help Free Keene sponsor the 2010 Porcupine Freedom Festival, I’ve created a Chip-In to help cover the cost. Free Keene is going to have a banner hung during all of Porcfest which will be moved on stage for exclusive sponsorship of the very popular “Soapbox Idol” event.

If you’d like to help pay for it, donate to the chip-in at the top right of Free Keene, or just become a monthly contributor here. Thanks for supporting Free Keene!

Let’s go to the LCLReport’s review of the footage from the day in question to see just how disorderly they were. (If you are short on time, the footage of the Nashua 420 starts at 2:09 in):
