LANCASTER â The Free State Projectâs 18th annual Porcupine Freedom Festival was a sell out this year with 2,500 tickets sold, eclipsing the previous record of 1,800 for the event. The festival brings in liberty-minded individuals from across the country as part of what Carla Gericke of Manchester, who is president emeritus of the Free State Project, said is a showcase to show attendees the value of living in New Hampshire. The event, for most of its 18-year history has been held at Rogerâs Campground in Lancaster, while two previous Porcfests were held at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Guilford. The event this year showcased about 700 different sub-events as part of the festival, which ran from Monday to Sunday.
