Grange Month 2006 was a busy time for the Maine State Grange’s legislative program. On Tuesday April 11, the Maine State Grange held their annual legislative luncheon at the Maine State Grange Headquarters in state capitol of Augusta. Members of the State Grange legislative and agriculture committees served lunch to approximately 220 members of the state legislature, their staff, legislative pages and families. Later that month on April 26, the Maine State Grange Agriculture Committee and Legislative Committee hosted a Gubernatorial Candidates Brunch at the State Grange headquarters that was organized and sponsored by the Maine Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers program. Gubernatorial candidates from the Republican party, the Democratic party and the Green party addressed the forum and answered questions from the assembled group which included not only Grange and Farm Bureau members but several state legislators as well.
