LISBON — Julie-Ann Baumer will give a talk on Moxie at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, at the Lisbon Historical Society, 18 School St.

Her talk, “In the Moxie Afterglow,” will highlight the town’s distinctively different history of festivals, gatherings and community events.

“Lots of people think the Moxie Festival is the town’s only festival,” Baumer said. “Interestingly, our town has a long history of celebration, going back to before the turn of the 20th century.”

She will highlight some of these early gatherings as well as provide a detailed history of Frontier Days and the evolution of the Moxie Festival.

Baumer grew up in Lisbon Falls, moved away for a time and recently returned home to live and work. She credits her move home in part due to her love for the Moxie Festival. She’s served on the Moxie Festival Committee for three years as hostess of the Moxie Recipe Contest.

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Parking and entrance are at the rear of the building.
