New Hampshire is the easiest place in the WORLD to find other liberty lovers with whom to hang out and enjoy dinner or a beer. Since it was selected as the Free State Project's target in 2003, regional meetup groups have sprung up throughout the state. Every week there's at least one get-together. Attend the Porcupine Powwows panel to get a taste of what each regional meetup group has to offer!

Whether you lean toward (New Hampshire's version of) big city life (Manchester, Nashua), prefer small town living (Keene, Upper Valley, the Seacoast), or just want to get away from it all (Lakes Region, North of the Notches), there's a meetup group for you! Panelists include group organizers from each of the regional groups, eager to share with you what makes their part of the Free State the best!

The panel will include: Mike Vine - Freecoast, Jody Underwood - Upper Valley Porcupines, Glen Dickey - Merrimack Valley Porcupines, Jeffrey Creem - Nashua Porcupines, Stephen Daves - Keene Porcupines, Tony Jankowski - Lakes Region Porcupines, Matt Whitlock - FreeWeare, Pat Armstrong - Upper Monadnock Valley, Eric Catman - North of the Notches Porcupines.
