A new office that will serve as the Lincoln County Republican Headquarters will open on Saturday in Waldoboro.

Senate candidate David Trahan is hosting the event, which will feature music and a BBQ lunch. Trahan will be in a competitive race this fall against Rep. Peter Rines, D-Wiscasset. Both men want to take the seat currently held by Sen. Dana Dow, R-Waldoboro.

Other Republican candidates are expected to attend, including Charlie Summers, who's running for the 1st Congressional District, and Sen. Susan Collins, who's trying to defend her seat.

Summers faces Democrat Chellie Pingree and Collins faces U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine.

The GOP event is open to the public beginning at 2 p.m. The office is across from the Irving Station on Route 1 in Waldoboro.
