Merrimack County Democrats Host Unity Celebration

CONCORD, NH - The Merrimack County Democrats will meet on Tuesday, May 17, to celebrate party unity.

The event is billed as the Spring Unity Fundraiser, with candidates, wine basket auction, raffles and good food. Tickets are $25 – $20 if you come with dessert. The event will be held at the state Democratic Party Headquarters at 106 North State St. in Concord

“The food is by our own Jennifer Buck,” said MCD president Jon Bresler, in praise of her catering talents. “We will auction a wine basket, and hold a raffle in what color hair state Rep. Katherine Rogers will be coiffed at the June 18 state convention."
