Saturday, Oct 28, is shaping up to be a beautiful Fall day, with great weather, speakers, table vendors, food, free speech (a gun raffle), and conversation. All that’s missing, as they say, is you, and we’ve got some updates we hope will encourage you to join us.
We invited vendors and groups to take tables; we’ve got at least 18 of them. Eighteen tables so far and counting – with products or information for you, including books, handouts, and whatever other goodies they’ve planned to bring along.
We’ve updated the speakers list. Author and Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is still our keynote, but we’ve added Michael Rectenwald. He is the author of Springtime for Snowflakes, Google Archipelago, and more – a White Tower Marxist who was canceled for daring to question one facet of the approved orthodoxy. He’s not with them anymore, but we’ve got him.

Laurie Ortolano is speaking, fresh from picking up her Loeb School First Amendment Award (on Oct 26), as is the already-announced Hal Shurtleff, the Camp Constitution guru who won a 9-0 free speech case at the US Supreme Court.
Author and speaker Ian Underwood will also take some time at the podium.
Skip and Steve are still speaking if they let us, but we may have to give one scheduled speaker, Dan Richards, a pass. His business, Global Rescue, was already busy with the Ukraine “conflict” but has been working overtime since the Hamas attack on Israel. But we might be able to sneak in a Zoom call or a quick recorded message – we’re waiting for the final word, which may come that morning or during the event.
More…
The Gun raffle ticket price is a steal—five dollars for one ticket, three for ten, or ten tickets for 20.00. You have to be there to buy them, and … you must be legally able to pass a background check with the FFL to take possession with the dealer, so if you can’t do that, buy something else or donate the money, please. Otherwise, show up and stock up on tickets!
As noted above, the forecast for Saturday (as of today) is 67 and mostly/Partly sunny. If it stays that way, we’ll leave the firepits behind, but we’ve got ’em if we need ’em.
Event ticket buyers will get admission, access to everything, the opportunity to talk with our speakers, and a handful of food and drink tickets to pick and choose from the menu, which includes desserts.
And I won’t lie. We have yet to nail down a band. We want one, but they either charge too much or are…what’s the word, bad. We’re still planning to have music, but we want that to be live!
We have a comedian, well – he thinks he’s funny. You can decide for yourself. And, of course, the best Master of Ceremonies in the Granite State, Jeff Chidester, who is also a speaker at this event.
And I can bring the cornhole set (it is still in the box), but I’ll break it out if anyone is interested.
So please grab a ticket or two, and come and enjoy the food and the company, chat with friends you bring or meet, and enjoy an afternoon celebrating another great day in New Hampshire and to support of independent media in the Granite State and beyond.
All proceeds pay for event costs or to fund GraniteGrok.com. Everyone else has volunteered their time to help us raise money and awareness.
