LEBANON - The campaign to elect Harrison Thorp representative for House District 20 has scheduled a fund-raiser for Thursday, May 1, at the Salmon Falls Café on Route 202 in Lebanon.

The fund-raiser will run from 7-9 p.m. and will include free hors d'oeuvres and special discounted beverage prices.

Renowned blue guitarist Alan Roux will also be on hand.

Roux has played venues all over Maine and New Hampshire, including Irontails in Acton, Gary’s Sports Bar in Rochester and Bentley’s Saloon in Arundel.
