Moxie…It’s Maine in a bottle

With the Town of Lisbon gearing up for the 40,000 expected attendees for the annual Moxie Festival, it is clear that some out-of-state folks wanted to be a part of the action. Back in March, the Moxie Committee announced the theme of Moxie…it’s Maine in a bottle for 2011. In fact, there were submissions from six other states: California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Jeff Moxcey of Waterville submitted the winning theme. He received a basket full of Moxie items from The Kennebec Fruit Company and a VIP ticket to view the parade from the judging stand on Main Street. He is a product evaluator and song writer who had this to say about his theme. “I thought the theme idea up by thinking how Moxie is a lot like Maine…unique, fresh, crisp, lots of good taste and unlike anything else. To me, Moxie is one of the best beverages. I liked it from the first taste.”

Congratulations Jeff! The 2011 Moxie festival will take place on July 8th, 9th and 10th. For complete festival details, please visit moxiefestival.com.

Got a Theme for Moxie?

Besides the 16 inches of snow that fell in the town of Lisbon this past Wednesday, we are pleased to offer another reason to look forward to the warm days of July. The 2011 Moxie Festival Committee has recently launched a contest to seek out the theme for the upcoming festival. Do you have a cool idea for a theme? Here’s your chance to share it!

Submitting an idea to the committee is pretty simple. Contestants will be able to access an entry form on the festival’s website and have a choice to mail or email a copy to Debra Wagner. All the detailed information is available on the contest form itself and for convenience purposes, we included the form below. The contestant who submits the winning theme idea will be awarded with a deluxe Moxie-filled basket and a VIP pass to hang out on the parade review stand while the parade’s in progress. This sounds like a great deal just for thinking outside the box! Be aware that the deadline for this contest is rapidly approaching—January 31, 2011.

The 2011 Moxie Festival will take place on July 8-11 and will again feature a three day Pow Wow, fireworks, parade, 5K road race and a river race on the Androscoggin River. For more information, please visit the festival’s website, www.MoxieFestival.com, and stay updated on the progress of this neat contest.
